Everything that Blooms
A look back at a colorful summer
It’s election day in the US. I already voted (have you?) and now I’m looking for distractions from the wall-to-wall election coverage. Maybe you are too?
Over the summer I had an idea for a video and I’ve been collecting footage in the garden for the past six months. Over the weekend I stopped looking at election updates on my phone for a fews hours and finally edited it together. I could tell you more about it but, instead, you can just watch the video here:
Mozart’s sonata was performed by Simone Renzi and is available through Creative Commons.

Thank you for sharing. Your garden is beautiful and is encouraging. My own garden here in Pittsburgh is similar - I edit lightly and let nature do its thing. I get discouraged sometimes as I feel others don't understand the logic behind this natural look. I had a man ask me last week if my house is abandoned!! (There is no chipped paint or anything amiss.) I was shocked and about to rip out all the golden rod, Joe Pye weed, etc. when my other neighbor pleaded with me not to!
This was delightful. The perfect reorientation of my attention on this election today. This video reminds me that the world is constantly changing and everything is temporary -- even beautiful blooms. Thanks for sharing!
