the beauty around you

kangaroo bounces back

Minus 5 this morning and a cracking frost. The frost didn't deter our local kangaroo, which returned to eye off the grass (which is greener on the other side don't you know). Apparently those people chasing it yesterday just wanted to get a close up shot - still misguided I say. But obviously being chased off didn't put the kangaroo off trying to find something tasty to eat.

On Saturday morning we spotted a kangaroo in the mist, sitting not far from our back fence. It stayed around most of the day until some misguided fools tried to catch it. (Tip: you can't catch a kanga, and you shouldn't try unless you want to get hurt.)

using sony cybershot with imovie

In anticipation of our o/s holiday this year, I have been trying to solve a conundrum I've had since I changed my photographic equipment to a sony cybershot. I couldn't work out how to download moving images from the camera into the mac - and no amount of googling helped with the answer.  Tonight I discovered, by accident, and after exposure to some mac experts who gave me some new ideas, that having iphoto and imovie open at the same time, and once iphotos are all downloaded, I can 'see' the cybershot moving images in imovie (9) and can download them. Hurray! (Except now I don't have a good excuse to get an ipad before we go on hols. Hello gift idea!)
