What else can I say. I had forgotten my own blog in the interest of reading others and the summer went by.
Time waits for no one as the song goes, it passes you by. It goes on forever like a cloud in the sky. Never heard that before? You must be thirtyish. The time is now fall and snow and rain coming shortly. Big yard sale here in Kayenta and we probably will miss it. Getting older one collects many things. Dusty things. Things that encourage spiders and a lack of space, drawers, outside storage and on and on. And like barnacles on a whale your body collects things which you would like to trade to someone else. Ah but then you look at your daughter, your grandchildren and great grandchildren and realize everything has a price. So little to pay for such walking happiness, beauty and fun.
And I like everyone else mourned the passing of Steve Jobs. So we increased our itoys and spent the past two weeks exploring new iways. Life wirelessly requires new brain work and a little shouting at each other. We can now print from anywhere, our house, your house, the moon. One wonders about the cloud and if it will rain on our parade but we keep pushing the buttons. I have created one masterpiece which will endure. Read on:
In September early October we visited the balloon festival in Albuquerque New Mexico. Of course even the iphone got up at 3:30 a.m. to see balloons and take some pics. First you drive to a bus stop, park your car and along with other excited travelors you get on provided school buses and travel north to the acres of land donated to huge balloons which are transported there by comparatively tiny trailors. I took many, many, too many photos but there were so many beautiful, glorious colors and balloons of all sizes taking off and firing up. Somehow I pushed the video button on the camera's side and got a mixture of still shots, video and grass and our own silly noses. Well video was most appropriate after all and the iphone has a mind of its own I think. After much struggling I managed to get an 11 minute movie. Some scenes continue to explore grass & wave about at nothing but I did manage to edit out a lot of wasted space and to get it all on a movie. I probably will share the movie with everyone like it or not.
I think the accompaning music is x rated but I don't hear well enough to sort it out and I like the beat and the mosaic display.
Maybe I will wait to share this blockbuster movie after Rachel, Lisa, Chris, David or Laurence helps me edit.
