I am conducting a little experiment in making flash slide shows. Today I have tried out a slide show maker called Slideroll (at www.slideroll.com). I found it very easy to use...so far. I uploaded photos from a trip taken a few years ago...96 in all. Very simple process. Then, I just had Slideroll make the slide show. There is editing which can be done; however, I have not tried any of it yet. So, some of the slides in the show are sideways and none are given a title. Many are redundant and should be deleted. We will see what I come up with eventually.
If you have the time to waste (er, spend) looking at my photos (some are quite lovely), you might want to know what you are seeing. I will give a brief explanation.
We (that is, Bill and I) flew into Buffalo, NY and then drove to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario where we enjoyed the hospitality of the Prince of Wales Hotel (a very lovely hotel, indeed). We prowled around the town and its lovely parks a bit. Then we spent a day visiting Niagara Falls (spectacular!!) The water was a most amazing color (due, I believe, to iron content in the water) and the rush of water over the falls was terrifying. In the area was a training facility for botanical gardening students and some very lovely sights were to be seen there.
One day a friend of mine, Luba, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to another town for a lush "high tea" at a favorite tea room of hers. Another day, we drove toward Toronto to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens. Two of our favorite things there were the many lilacs in bloom and an old fashioned maze (from which which we did manage to find our way out).
In the evenings we enjoyed a short drive to Lake Ontario to try to see a sunset there. Usualy, the scene was very hazy; but, lovely and dreamy nonetheless.
It was a wonderful trip and one I would enjoy taking again. And, oh yes, I am going to do some further experimenting with Slideroll. So far, I like what I see!!
