Creating kaleidoscopes isn’t magic. Here are the directions. I’m not as fast as the video I created below. The hard part is choosing the slice to use. The tedious part is getting the pieces of the mosaic to line up.

Supper and a song
Makes me want to eat at Sonic. Probably not a good idea.
Sod sofas in 60 seconds (video)
My favorite September ritual: Shooting the sod sofa installation by my friend Marcia’s Art of Horticulture class:

Videos: Faster, closer
Had a little time to fiddle with time-lapse videos today. Long story short: Closer, faster. The same views cropped in closer and sped up.
Learned three things: While I like the wide landscape videos, next season I think I’ll focus in closer on particular areas. I need more bulbs for early-season interest. (I crammed a lot in those beds this fall.) And I need to get Fred and Jade to cooperate more to get them in to more images.

Video: The Year in 100 Seconds
I had time this week to finish up the videos I did from stills for the August Garden Bloggers Design Workshop, adding images from fall and early winter. (It seems out of sequence, but there is a shot in the stack from our mid-October snowstorm.) I discovered that PhotoShop isn’t so good at aligning stacks with this many images (probably because I wasn’t very precise with I shot them), and had to do some fiddling around. Still, it’s a fun little exercise, and I may have more to share later today or tomorrow.
