This was a short, 20-minute presentation (which went on for a bit longer). This video is not of the live presentation. It was ‘taped’ (& you should be glad of that).

Instead, this is my PowerPoint presentation made into a YouTube video set to music. It is just under 2.5 minutes. So, not too painful to watch.

This is NOT one of my full-blown, 1-hour (+) comet presentations. It was meant to be short, quick & with an emphasis on C/2022 E3 (ZTF). So, please don’t take this as one of my usual, in-depth comet presentations. I will, now that I have done this, make one of those too. OK?

Another useful post with a ever better list.

The video (on top) came up as a YouTube recommendation last night. I was curious. I use Google Search more than most. On average, I must Google around 50 times a day. Often much more — given that I like to spend as much time, each day, pursuing my research interests (which right now relate to ‘antipopes‘).

The video, at 5:30 minutes, was short enough so I took a chance. I am so glad I did.

I knew some, BUT not all. It also motivated me to do a Google Search to uncover some posts. SMILE. Well, I am sharing two of them with you. Definitely worth checking them out.

YouTube video with SOME of the photos from this book.

Not much I need to say or add. In this case all the pictures can & should do all the talking.

It a 54-page, full-color photo-book.

The PRIMARY objective was to create an AFFORDABLE, full-color paperback to complement my other 3 Bold Coast paperbacks — which are all in black-&-white. Just for completeness, consistency & to keep Amazon happy I also created an eBook version — though my Bold Coast ebooks, of course, are in color. But, this book has many, many photos I have not published before. Check out the YouTube video {above}.

Please check it out. At Amazon you have a totally FREE, no-obligation ‘Look-Inside‘ feature. Give it a spin.

‘Amanda Adams’ Performing At The ‘Moonlight Meadery’, ‘Pittsfield’, N.H., Oct. 22, 2022 — 1.5-Minute YouTube Video.

A few photos:

This was serendipitous. I didn’t even know that this place existed — let alone that she was playing there. Going to ‘AppleView Orchard‘, in Pittsfield, N.H., in October, to pick apples has been a long-standing family ritual going back at least a decade. But, as with so many other things, we had NOT gone in 2020 or 2021 because of COVID. So, ‘Over the Moon’ farmstead was ALL NEW to I.

We did our usual stuff at AppleView. Daughter wanted to sit in the sun & just soak in the atmosphere — it having been an exceptionally gorgeous day. Since she, more than anyone else, knows my penchant for taking pictures, she suggested that I should walk across, check out the new place & take some pictures. I walked across. Heard the music. Went in. This was the result. Those that follow this blog know that I can’t resist taking pictures of performers & groups.

Another one of my photo montages made into a video. Enjoy. Yes, I wish I could have captured HER MUSIC. But, that is not my thing. Maybe when I grow up & learn how to shoot proper videos.

They, viz. the ‘International String Trio‘, were amazingly brilliant at the ‘Great Waters‘ concert, in Wolfeboro, N.H., on Sunday.

This is NOT a conventional video of them performing. Instead it is a photo montage of 80 photos stitched together, with YouTube supplied soundtrack (to circumvent copyright), to create quick 2-minute video. Check it out. It gives you a real feel of what it was like to be in the audience. Enjoy.

YouTube video (4.5-minutes long).

The 2022 ‘Great Waters‘ season with its 6 concerts; 5 under the BIG tent (i.e., ‘Concerts in the Clouds‘). 140 still photos, that I took, stitched into a video with background music (though, alas, not from any of the concerts (so as to avoid copyright issues)).

It provides a fairly decent picture — ambience & all — of what the entire season was like. Check it out. I am sure you will get a kick from it.

NO. It hasn’t flown as yet. It is HOPING to do so on Saturday, September 10, 2022. This was the day before. All related to the annual ‘International Seaplane Fly-In‘ — in progress right now. This video talks about it. Check that regularly to see IF we get any further updates.

Again, for the second time in as so many days, I need to thank ‘Carole Harden Taylor‘, one of the Admins for this Live Webcam Channel (i.e., ‘Boston and Maine Live‘) for this video. Thank YOU, Carole. She is an amazing lady! So, helpful & kind.

We only got to see this amazing event THANKS to the Live Webcam. Obviously we don’t get a great image because the Webcam is not pointed straight at the DC-3 — and, moreover, it doesn’t follow it as it moves.

I was hoping I might find other videos. I haven’t so far.

They are getting the DC-3 ready for the annual ‘International Seaplane Fly-In‘ — in progress right now. (Image above). Check that regularly to see IF we get any further updates.

MUST WATCH YouTube video (7.5-minutes long).

I kid you NOT. This 7.5-minute video will give you a UNIQUE perspective as to a ‘Gary Mullen‘ performance.

Not a conventional video. Instead, 157 still photos I took, at the concert, stitched together (via ‘PowerPoint‘) to make this 7.5-minute video. It does have a background soundtrack BUT it is NOT ‘Queen’ or ‘Gary Mullen’. Copyright issues! Instead it is copyright-free audio provided by ‘YouTube’.

Check it out. I am SURE you will NOT regret it. Thanks. SMILE.

Managed to get the eBook (readable on ANY phone, PC, tablet etc.) published last night — 3-weeks after the paperback. Given that the book is heavily formatted, with lots of bullet lists (per its premise), making an eBook version was a LOT of work. I kid you not. But, it is NOW done, & that is a huge relief. I plan to take a few weeks off from writing!

The eBook will be downloadable for FREE from Thursday to Sunday this week, (i.e., August 25 – 28, 2022) directly from Amazon.

PLEASE NOTE that you DON’T need a Kindle to read Kindle eBooks!

Kindle eBooks can be read on ANYTHING — any phone (Android or Apple), PCs, Web browsers, tablets, etc. etc.

I hope to do two more ‘Bold Coast‘ books over the winter: ‘Bold Coast, Maine: In Color‘ & ‘Bold Coast, Maine: For Kids‘. I am hoping to have them available by May 2023.

I thank all of you, especially those in Lubec, for ALL your help & support with my Bold Coast books. Thank YOU.
