River Ride in Tortuguero, Costa Rica Friday August 24th, 2007 Sook and I went to Tortuguero to see the Green Turtles come ashore and lay eggs. On the canoe ride the following morning we saw all kinds of wildlife including howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and these white-faced monkeys. |

Bull Run in Bimini Tuesday May 15th, 2007 The most anticpated dive during Blackbeard's Liveaboard was Bull Run, the shark encounter. With a block of food suspended by a chain, the feeding frenzy began while we divers sat 25 feet away. The sharks would swim within arm's reach and Dave was able to take this great video using his underwater camera. |

China Taxi Ride Wednesday March 07th, 2007 This clip is entertaining for the radio and music, not so much the taxi ride. Also of interest: price of the cab ride (8 yuan is approximately 1 dollar), timers on all the stoplights, and the nice cars. Remember, though, that most Chinese do not own cars. |

Gasoline Lines Wednesday October 26th, 2005 We still can't figure out why everyone was in such a rush to get gasoline after the hurricane. Probably a combination of fear and boredom rather an actual need for fuel. Nonetheless, we had fun filming those who waited over eight hours to fill up their tank. |

From the Backyard Monday October 24th, 2005 Looking across the lake from our backyard, Hurricane Wilma looks pretty neat. The north fence and part of the south fence were blown down. |

Flying Branch Monday October 24th, 2005 As I'm panning across our front driveway, a branch came flying towards me. Hurricane Wilma was the 4th category 5 hurricane of the 2005 season, the most active season on record. |

Wilma at Dawn Monday October 24th, 2005 Category 5 Hurricane Wilma struck south Florida in the morning hours, as seen here just after dawn. This video is from the front of our house before a huge branch fell right next to my car. Also, Byron contemplates how the stock market will react. |

Arant Wedding Slideshow Saturday October 23rd, 2004 This slideshow was shown during Herschel and Candee's wedding. The "wedding slideshow" was originally shown at David's wedding and again at Suzy's wedding. They were such a big success, we decided to do it again, this time for Candee's wedding. It was a lot of fun to make and I think it turned out pretty well! |

Whale Shark Saturday August 14th, 2004 Off Holbox Island in the Gulf of Mexico, whale sharks (largest fish on earth) come to feast on plankton and we were able to snorkel with these sharks. The video does a good job of showing just how big these creatures are. |
