Kiera Between A Rock and a . . .

After our long stroll downtown today, Kiera and I shared a rock near our front door.

Our 10th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Susie, Kiera and I decided to picnic at Sonoma Square, where we shot these two short movies of Kiera exploring in the sand and saying her first intelligible word on video - Apple . . . listen for it.

The Things Kiera Loves

Four short videos and one longish one. FYI, a Wubby (short for Wubba Nub) in Kiera's world is a pacifier attached to a small stuffed animal, a black cat or a green frog, in Kiera's case. She often totes both of them with her. The first three videos are all about Kiera's relationship with her Wubbies; the last are really short video clips which show two more things that Kiera loves: her indoor slide and Monroe - a treasured gift from the McIntoshes in Michigan.

Enjoy!

Kiera Stars in Her Own Movies, My First Attempt

Yesterday I received a refurbished Kodak Si6, a drop-dead simple compact HD video camera, which is essentially a Flip It knock-off. I am very impressed with the quality from this tiny camera which stores its video files on SDHC cards.

In this post, I embedded three short YouTube HD (1280 x 720 pixel) Quicktime files that have been trimmed using SimpleMovie and saved in the files' original .mov format. To ensure that you view the highest quality video, follow the Basic Instructions, in the upper left corner of this page.

Quicktime.mov: 60 fps
