Saturday was to be the day for setting up a new blog, but the prospect of a walk in the park , snow still on the ground and sun bright, was tempting.
I asked my fellow tweeters what I should do first, walk in the park or work on the blog? And the unanimous response of those around was to walk first and then set up blog and write about it. So no couch potatoes there.
Sadly once we were out there it was so good that that we did not return for a long time. No new blog set up :-(
Whilst out I tweeted some photos from the iphone but this was not enough, a blog post was required so here it is.
Instead of the new blog I'm showing the pictures in two ways, first new to me a Photopeach spiral (Thanks Simon Widdowson and Allanah King for sharing this at about the same time) and then using Animoto. I have an education license for this so can make longer films
Enjoy my walk
Snow in the park on PhotoPeach. Use the slider to hear the sound and click on the full screen icon to get a big picture. As well as rotating, the images can be 'pulled' around with the mouse.

I like to keep in touch with what's happening in the early years. One of the ways I have of getting a global view is to follow early years blogs. I follow quite a few occasionally leaving messages of encouragement and will share them over the weeks. Here is Little Voices, little Scholars . Little Voices, Little Scholars via kwout " They have had a focus on Speaking and listening, as well as environmental issues. Take a look at the video Apii's Hippo

The music really suits it

The animoto video won't play on an iPhone (because it is Flash), but there is a way around it;
If you put a link to the location of the animoto video (the one in the "your video is ready" email), then iPhones can play the video using either mobile safari or the animoto iPhone app.
Simple, and giving you a wider audience :-)
