Videos From The Easter Egg Hunt 2025

5 Replies

These videos are sorta wonky due to the inexpertise of the camerawoman!  Click on the first video twice and it will enlarge and play, but at its end, Youtube will take you to a screen with a bunch of other Youtube videos on it.  Just double click on it and then double click on the next egg hunting screen on my blog and the same thing will happen all the way through. Wish I knew editing so I could edit them all together and also take the shots of my feet walking along in pursuit out of the one video. Perhaps one of these years I’ll learn how to do so. In the meantime, if you have patience, go ahead and try to watch these frenzied little videos.  Happy Easter!!! And thanks to Forgottenman for all his patience in getting these videos from Youtube to you.

 

You can see more still photos of the hunt HERE and HERE.

Raquet Club Rock Slide and Water Flow Video: Oct 5, 2021

13 Replies

See a video of the water and rock flow at 1:30 P.M., Oct 5 , 2021. I love how the small black rocks caught in the flow pop up  like popcorn from the rush of the water. This “river” is not normally here. It  is the product of heavy rains and perhaps a waterspout that lifted from the lake and spilled its water out on the mountain above us. It has carved out a channel with the huge boulders that rolled down hill with it and gouged out the cobblestones and soil all the way to the carretera (main road) more than a mile below. Lots of force in that water.

At the end of Cee’s Friday Funny Finds is the most hilarious video of an ingenious obstacle course for squirrels. Don’t miss it.

Cat Altercations

I thought I’d published this before but can’t find it. I’m thinking this is the mood my usually loving and docile cats were in when they wreaked havoc on my house last night or early this morning.

For you Morrie fans, here is a video of my housesitter Ian teaching him to play basketball in the pool. Don’t worry. Ian isn’t really in the au naturel. He has on flesh colored trunks. Morrie is nude.

i’ve been wondering how all the cat hair has been winding up on my bed. Mystery solved. Luckily, I happened to be carrying a camera.

Terrifying Footage of Stromboli Gas Cloud

9 Replies

This footage of a small boat trying to escape the gas cloud set up by the Stromboli volcanic eruption is terrifying. Forgottenman has just informed me that the people in the boat are safe.  Phew. He is the one who sent me this link after I posted the previous one of the volcano erupting. Patti just reminded me that as we passed this volcano two weeks ago it was pointed out to us that it was still active. I think I’m thankful not to have witnessed this event.

What it Is!!

A few days ago, I asked what you thought the photo below  was  and  promised to let you know the answer later.  You gave some great guesses, but scroll down to see what it really is:

Click on the first photo below to enlarge the photos and see these incredible Mayan Pole Flyers.  When you get back to the first photo, click on the X at the upper right to come back to this page as there are two videos at the bottom of the post. 

I first saw these Mayan Pole Flyers from Veracruz in the park in Mexico City, but a month or so ago, when I took a stroll on the malecon in Ajijic, they were performing there as well. I imagine it might have been quite a feat of engineering to get the 30-meter pole installed securely enough to support all their weight.  Here are videos of their performance. Unfortunately, you’ll have to tilt your device (or head) sideways to see it.
