A few weeks ago, a garden gnome moved into the large tree in my front yard. I snuck up on him and took several pictures as he was watering his shrubs. Then I downloaded the pictures to my computer. I first went to gimp with my pictures. I picked one and started playing with it. I got to the very end of my creation and I couldn't get the title to appear. I tried several unsuccessful times. I saved it thinking I would give it one more try. I tried to find it and it missing in action. I finally gave up. So, I went to gloster.com to create a poster. I completed a nice looking poster. I clicked the wrong button and lost my poster. At this point, I had spent all evening working on gimp and all morning on gloster. And I still had nothing to show for it. I decided to took a break while I cooled off. I went back to gloster and created another poster. I started with choosing my background color. Next, I downloaded my picture. I put a lovely frame around the picture. Then I chose some graphics; some animated and some not. I picked flowers, butterflies and a starburst. I tried to add music. I got the music downloaded and a player embeded. But I couldn't get it to play. So, I deleted it. Finally, I added a title. Here's the link. View it for your self. I'm off to take picture for my video. It must be the day for things not working out. I couldn't get the link the correct way. So, the poster link will take you to my wiki.

Well, I just thought I was done. Click on the link below. It will take you to my poster.

 I grabbed my camera and headed out to capture my pictures for this assignment. Not knowing what I would find. I ran into these painted buffaloes. Mary Martha Outreach is an organization that provides help for low income families in Bartlesville. They provide food, clothing and furniture. Girl Scout Troop 208 suggested this as a fundraiser. At this time, twelve buffaloes are completed and adorning our city. Five more are in different stages of completion. In the end, twenty-five buffaloes will roam the City of Bartlesville to benefit the Mary Martha Outreach Organization. Each buffalo has a name and is painted by different artists. I spent an hour driving around town taking pictures of the buffalo. I got all but one. My missing buffalo is located out at Woolaroc. Call me cheap, but I wasn't going to pay $8 to take a quick picture of it. Plus, it's about 18 miles outside of town. I've seen its picture. And it's lovely. After I returned home with my pictures, I downloaded them to my computer. I went to Gifup.com. I tried to download my pictures three times using both my computers. On the third try, I was successful. Then I couldn't figure out what to do next. I tried the help button. Didn't help much. I e-mailed gifup for more directions. I has been a day and a half. I have not heard anything from them. So, I went back to animoto.com. I have made two videos at animoto. It is pretty simple to make a video. I picked a background color. Then, I down loaded my pictures one at a time. I added text and put them in order. I next picked out music from their samples. Animoto has lots of music to choose from. I took me almost an hour to find the music I liked. I finalized my video with a title. The only down fall to this website is you can't edit the pictures. But I'm always amazed at how wonderful the finished product looks. Take this link to my wiki and check it out for yourself.

You will find my video put created at animoto.com. Click on the link to see the stampede.

This is my extra credit still images. I was unable to place it on my discussion page because they were to large.
