I have been spending much time filming the flowers, the moonrises, and the animals who visit. When I first started using this camera, I was so excited and would film a little bit and make a movie; go out, film some more for a day, make another movie. I am still just as excited, but I have also spent more time collecting clips, over many days, to put into a movie. It might not sound like two very different things, but it is. I like learning the different workflows. So I’m excited to start working on putting the past week or two into a little movie I think will be called A Garden of Friends.
I’m compiling clips of the times I work on knitting my sweater, too, so that people can see how I make one. The first video is on Youtube, if you’d like to see. I’ve gotten a lot done it on it because the thick winter wool knits up very quickly! I’ll be doing the sleeves this week (and maybe next week too, I have long arms).
I hope you are enjoying these last days of summer. I feel a little bit of a sadness when I look at the flowers in what is now called The Fairy Garden. I know they will be around only until the first frost, maybe a bit before that, and then they are gone until next spring and summer. It feels silly being sad because this happens every year, and I know that. I also love every season! I love the joy the flowers bring to each day, and I will miss it. I had no idea when we planted their seeds that they would be the sort of focus where I’ve learned how to use the camera. So they’ve been my companions in that totally exciting and hopeful endeavor. Blooms watching blooms.
