Buck in our Front Yard

Yesterday morning we had a four point mule deer buck foraging in our front yard.  We get lots of does and fawns but bucks usually stay farther up the hill, so this was an unusual visit.  Here is a short (less than a minute) video of him before he wandered away.  Muffin (cat numero uno of Dos Gatos) was laying on the front porch at the time and was somewhat upset about this visit as she does not like deer.

By the way, despite my previous analysis of inexpensive video editing software, I have drifted back to Adobe Premiere Elements.  I recently applied an update to Ulead VideoStudio and afterwards, the help file was gone.  That, and thedifficult interface, made be revisit Adobe Premiere Elements.  After spending a little more time with it, I realized that some of my previous misgivings were caused by ignorance on my part.  I figured out how to do a couple of export options and, viola!, it does do what I want it to do.  I then thought I should update to the recently released version 4 but after reading some reviews at Amazon, I decided to stick with version 3 for now.

So my new video toolbox for creating videos in streaming Flash format is simply Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 and Sothink Video Encoder for Adobe Flash version 2.3.  Nice and simple (and cheap).
