Trip to Catsburg Bluffs (Willie Duke Bluffs)

Sunday, April 05, 2009

Alice Zawadzki, Ulana Stuart and Terry Leigh Britton revisited Catsburg Bluffs *(Willie P. Duke Bluff) off Hamlin Rd. by the Eno River and found some spectacular flowers for early April. There was an abundance of trout lilies of the americanum variety, along with pussy-toes, bluets, and many others!


Trip to Catsburg Bluff in April Quicktime Video

You have the option of watching this in High-Definition, Full-Screen, but it will need a fast Broadband connection to work - click the HD button after starting playback, and then the full-screen button next to that one. This is very experimental even for YouTube to be doing high definition videos. So if it works, enjoy it. If not, soon they will have it working better. If the video just “spins” while it is downloading instead of playing automatically, try dragging the little slider to the right a bit and hit play again (or un-click the HD button). That’s what I had to do in the HD (high-definition) mode. The full-screen rendition of the pictures makes it all worthwhile, though! Still, I’m a little frustrated that the HD version doesn’t just work right off the bat every time. It seemed to be waiting till the entire video was downloaded to my computer before it would start playing. This is very bleeding-edge stuff. You saw it here first, at ncwildflower.org!!!

If you have a dial-up internet account, un-click the HD button for a lower-resolution playback. Otherwise you may have to wait half an hour for the entire video to download.
