A test video of the front yard taken from the web cam in June 2008. No snow, no ice, no rain, no smoke, no grass, no flowers. It's very bleak in appearance. Did you get a glimpse of the mole, vole, field mouse, or ?. It moves very quickly from the left side of your screen to the right. The leaves on the trees are just starting to appear. Yes, the webcam does work. This video was shot at 25fps and can go up to 80fps. If you prefer the 1941 RCA TV Test Pattern instead, click here to get to it.

Do you recall when you first saw this test pattern? I first saw this one in 1951 on WSPA in Spartanburg, SC while visiting friends of the family. It eventually showed up on one of our local stations WJHL, Johnson City, TN, when they first started broadcasting from Tannery Knob.
