Crows and Jays

I was sitting at the breakfast table this morning when I heard a murder of crows in the backyard. I grabbed my Edirol R-09HR recorder and made this recording. Towards the end you can hear a jay joining in the argument.

Spent some time at the Salem Art Fair. I made this recording with my Apple iPad using an application called Recorder HD.  I had the iPad in my backpack and carried it around in my right hand moving through the crowd. You can hear a vendor playing a hand made flute and catch snippets of conversation.

Later I sat down and painted the above image using the Brushes application on the iPad. Several people stopped to watch me paint and ask questions.

Spring Squall

Rain on Leaves

Spring Rain

Made this recording on our back porch using my new Edirol Wave Recorder. I heard thunder and thought I'd get some storm sounds. It hailed, but no more thunder.
