Someone asked me today, "What do you do all day?" These days the answer is learn. Learn Adobe Photoshop Elements, learn how to calibrate a color printer, learn how to back-up all of our photographic work, learn how to sell photos on stock photo sites, learn how to set up a website, learn how to set up a business, learn when and where the art fairs are around the region, and of course learn how to blog. I have yet to learn how to get more of you to leave comments, but hopefully that will come with time.
Today I've been experimenting and learning how to make exportable slideshows from iPhoto to post to this blog. I've made one that I hope you enjoy showing the transition from winter to spring at the beach using some of my favorite subjects - shells.

To watch just click the arrow at the center of the picture above, sit back and enjoy. But of you really want to have some fun, click on the arrow, then look to the lower right at the bottom of the picture. See the number 360p with an arrow next to it? Click on the arrow and select the other option - 480p. Once it's done adjusting itself, click on the square that really looks like arrows going in four directions, that will enlarge the slideshow to the size of your screen. Now sit back and really enjoy! What a hoot ... and I didn't know how to do this this morning!
Some of you have been kind enough to point out that lots of other YouTube stuff is offered up after you see the "videos", apparently that's unavoidable, at least we have yet to find a way around it, but rest assured we're working on it! Perhaps that's what I'll do tomorrow.
Please let me know what you think! Leave a comment by clicking on the word Comment at the bottom of this post or if that's too far to go, just click here and you'll be transported to the Comments box (that's like a mail box not a penalty box). Dialogue and Comments are what blogging is all about!
Lucy, You are very welcome, I'm thrilled you like them too. Thanks for joining in.

This video really higlights all the magnificent beauty shells hold. I know what I'm going to look for next time I'm at the beach! ..Perhaps start my own collection of shells to put on display. Thanks you for sharing your art with me!

I can't even imagine anyone asking such a question. I know just from your blog how busy you keep yourself. I want to pass the link to your blog to my family and friends because I know they will love this as much as I do.
