Erin at Monahans Sandhills[mp4 6.4MB, 1 min 1 sec] (Alternative: view on YouTube)

This video shows Erin walking around in her element: outside taking pictures. I tried to be quiet so you could hear the silence; but the resulting audio just sounds like wind noise… oh well. I took this out during one of our evening [...]

These two videos go with our Horsin’ Around in Kentucky post. Both clips are from the Kentucky Horse Park’s “Parade of Breeds” where visitors can watch and learn about a wide variety of horse breeds from around the world.

Niagara Falls[mp4 8.8MB, 2min 21 sec]

Erin and I had a beautiful day to explore the Niagara Falls area. It was a hot, sunny day in late summer, so the mist felt good on our faces. It was like a natural air conditioner—as soon as you left the edge of the falls, you were hot again.

Our time on Mount Desert Island was wonderful; we enjoyed lots of outside time. Here are two videos of our adventures there, including a whale watch boat trip and a sea kayaking trip.

Of note in both clips is the calm sea—we were lucky to have two very nice days out on the water. It had [...]

Foghorn and Windsurfer

Filed under: Video by Lance on 7/17/2007

Our first video from our time in Rhode Island is the fog horn at the Beavertail Lighthouse on Jamestown Island (officially Conanicut Island.)

This female Yellowbelly Slider was really going fast—either to get to her nest or just after she left her nest to get back to the water. Erin shot this video when we visited Old Charles Towne (near Charleston, SC).
