Car Oops!
My inspiration was just that Mom was taking pictures for fun like she was making a stop motion video and I decided to too. I didn’t really have a plan–I just wanted to car to go across the screen. The movie kinda wrote itself, so yes, the plan did change. car…

Recently in history we have been learning about Jamestown and we made a stop motion about it in a app called Clayframes that we use to make stop motion videos. Isn’t it weird that i put two stop motion videos up one right after another?

We needed a new table, so we went on a drive looking for one! Photos taken along Lake-Cook Road and U.S. Route 14 from Algonquin to Barrington. It kinda looks like the water tower is on the trees!

Lake Barrington, Illinois Barrington, Illinois Then we went to a second store, and they had one! Barrington, Illinois We drove home, then Dad drove back to […]
Continue readingQuack!
One day, we were eating breakfast, and we looked out the window and saw not one, but two ducks! Throughout their visit, we realized that they were molting, and therefore couldn’t fly. Since Woods Creek, the nearest body of water, is about a quarter-mile away, we were surprised they walked all the way over here! In any case, we went outside to (from a distance) observe them and take some pictures. Here are my favorites! When we got out, they were resting. We played outside until they woke up. They crossed the street (safely, good) and headed towards the creek. […]

Boone Creek Conservation Area
Dad and I went to the Boone Creek Conservation Area. First he taught me about shudder speed and how if I slow it down and take a picture of something moving really fast, the picture is not blurry. Then we went on a walk! To me, the footprint looks like it’s on the moon!
