Williamsbubb March 28, 2008

Enjoy the pictures below of another great Williamsbubb Day. The weather once again spared us - warm sun and light wind from sun up until closing time at 2:15 pm. Then clouds and rain by 3:35! The last of the boxes were going into the storage container as rain fell and no harm was done.

There is also a table of movie clips you might enjoy. You can click on the "YouTube" word and the movie will open in a new window on the YouTube site where it will be larger, and you can even blow it up to full screen. (Since this was shot on a digital camera it will be a bit pixelated in large size.)

If you'd like an original file of any of the photos (the displayed ones are reduced to 800 x 600), just email Rick Van Mell.
