Nicely done Lin !! (I like Ken's trout idea - I was thinking along the lines of someone (out of sight) dropping a stone in the still water and concentric circles emanating from the centre of the drop. :rolleyes: )

Maureen: Just sent you a note.... Beautifully done in all aspects Thanks for sharing

Downloaded in 5 seconds !!! Hurrah ! The storm must have cleaned out all the plugged collections from a few days ago. Thanks for the show. Jim

Very nicely done Gilio

Nicely done Don

Great show and wonderful images from the Hebrides How did you get around on the Islands?? I understand you took the ferry to get to the islands, but did you walk (a lot) to get the images ?

Great show Maureen. As Bill says beautiful weather for you. Wonderful subjects for photography. I am always amazed at how (on the surface anyway) well healed places are that had been so heavily damaged.

Thanks Ken. Not sure it was that good but my hat no longer fits when you give me comments like that !!

Bill Hines kindly uploaded the fifth in an African Slide show series http://www.beechbrook.com/pte/ When one comes back from three safari with '000's of pictures and don't want to bore your viewers with picture after picture of the same type of animal in a slightly different setting et al, you have to try to come up with something different.... Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Colin. Kruger certainly is a great place. There'll be another show uploaded to Beechbrook in due course featuring the "Big 5"

Kruger is a great place. They had a lot of rain a few months ago with flooding. You might find it a little greener than we did. Looking forward to your AV show when you get back.

Thanks Lin The script is always "fun" to do. Say what you want in less than 6 seconds and then move on.....

Don't get too carried away Ken :D Thx

Bill is kindly hosting another show of ours on Beechbrook. This one is entitled "African Safari Experiences". It is intended to show the differences in Safari experiences between Tanzania and South Africa. It is not on YOU TUBE, as YOU TUBE took issue with my not having the full rights to use the music. You can download it from Beechbrook Here

Thanks for hosting, BIll !!! Those are the only two "educational" shows I have (other than PTE/AV tutorials from the old days) that I did. I must admit that I like doing those. Most, but not all, of my shows are travelogues, which one could call semi-educational. I'll post more shows in "due course"

Glad it was helpful. I should look at my shows and see if there is something I can put up from South Africa, in addition to "the Dance" and "African Flowers" that are already on Beechbrook.

You're welcome Lin. Up here syrup producers use a production of one litre of finished syrup per tap as an estimate for a "normal" year. The featured sugar bush has been in production for over 40 years. In 1998 a very bad 3 day freezing rain storm hit this bush, and many others in the area. A lot of trees had extensive damage but came back in a few years. As a result of the storm, and so much damage caused by downed limbs, all new collection lines and pipelines had to be installed.

Ken there are still a number of sugar bushes that still collect by bucket and sleigh. And still a good number of wood burning evaporators around as well. I have a friend (the person who is the beekeeper in the last AV) who has buckets on 12 of his maple trees around his house. He boils the sap down on his kitchen stove. Glad it brought back memories Jim

Eric: It is liquid sugar, but some research has a lot of good things to say about it read here

Following the Beekeeping AV recently posted on Beechbrook... Another re-working of a 35mm dual projector show from 13-14 years ago. Started out as a 14 minute AV and when digitized 9 years ago (at 800x600) three versions were produced: 14 min, 10 min and this 5 minute version. This is a 1440x1080 version with some updated images for changing technology. click here to download. Also available on You Tube here

Neat Lin !!!! I felt right at home with the snow. Glad you are keeping your hand in PTE

Lin: Retried it from your website and it came through this time (in splutters but it's here)

no go Tried copy-paste three times, and straight typing 3 times Guess I will have to give it a pass darn it

Thx Lin downloaded in about 7 seconds I copy and pasted the password, but it didn't accept it....

Hi Lin: I have tried three times to download the AV. Doesn't seem to want to cross the US/Canada border :rolleyes: It hangs up and just sits there after slowly downloading about half the file. Any thoughts? Thx Jim
