Parc De La Tête D'Or
Festival des Courges / Pumpkin Festival
The pumpkin festival is taking place in our park. Pumpkins sit in flower pots, on wooden palettes, in trays, and on the grass.
Autumn Routine
Autumn has arrived. This weekend we will be transforming our apartment into its winter configuration. With the Autumn comes the cold and the damp. A pervasive damp that leaches into our kitchen wall and into our apartment.
Insects and Manual Focus
I have started playing with manual focus on the Canon PowerShot SX700. It is not the first camera I have had with this control but it is a feature I rarely use.
Adding Music to Videos
In the interest of continuing my filming experiment, I decided to try adding music to my latest video.
More Squirrels
Below are a few photos and a short film of squirrels foraging in our local park. Most of the shots are taken at maximum zoom.
Hybrid Video from Canon IXUS 265 HS
I really like the hybrid video mode on my new Canon IXUS 265 HS. Here is a video of Lyon’s zoo using the hybrid mode.
A Few More Flowers
I like the ethereal quality of these flowers
Spring Flowers in Parc de la Tête d’Or
A short video to capture the spring flowers while they are still in bloom.
Daffodils
Blue sky, sunshine, and flowering daffodils. A perfect weekend for walks in the park.
Geese in the Park
Lyon’s Parc de la Tête d’Or is home to a large flock of geese. They roam the grassed areas. Children are enthralled by them and so too are parents. The parents staying close by waiting for the seemingly inevitable cry of an upset goose.
