Summer Dreams: We all love those wispy summer dreams. This one has a twist! (Flash 5)
Mule Dreams: Mules have dreams, too. Ida's dream came true in June, 2000, when she led a mule team from Great Falls into downtown Potomac, Maryland! (Flash 5)
Dogfight! There's more to this dogfight than meets the eye! This dogfight combines Flash 4 movie clips, "button" graphics, and JavaScript within the main animation to create a game! See how many of Mondo's Air Force fighters you can shoot down! (Flash 4 Movie)
Banners GIF, JPEG, still and animated banners are fun and good advertising. Banners add pizzaz and visual "trademarks" to your web site. Visit examples we created in Flash 4.
Insert mini-graphic or symbol from MF Movie -- maybe part of the bridge....?
Wreck of the Millard Fillmore Canal acqueducts usually don't collapse. They do if the stone mortar hasn't been inspected since 1880! This animated disaster occurred at Williamsport, Maryland, on the C&O Canal in 1923, with amusing results during the Flood of 1934! As with all Blue Heron's animations, the music is original. (Flash 4 - be patient if you have a slow modem.)
A Dull Day in the Life of Lil & Ida The first in our "Lil & Ida" series for the C&O Canal web site, this movie isn't as dull as it sounds! It depicts a real-life, 21stCentury barge ride you can take on the C&O Canal at Great Falls, Maryland, when you're visiting the Washington, DC area. (Mile 14 from Georgetown). This movie gives the world's "tourists" the tastes and sounds of 19th Century life in young America. (Flash 4 -- be patient if you have a slow modem.)
