Fuggles is still afraid of baloons

Took the afternoon off and Fuggles and I hit wilderness. She loves it out there and snow was an added bonus.

Last night my Datura wrightii finally bloomed. I think most of you already watched the disappointing time-lapse video that I posted last night of this plant’s flower bud growing larger (and NOT blooming). Well, below you’ll find a two minute video of time-lapse photography which spans the course of a few hours.

The picture interval started @ 5 mins for the first half hour. But as you’ll see, there was a 5 min interval when the flower was closed, and then on the next 5 min interval the flower was pretty much open 3/4 of the way. So, the next time I do time-lapse photography of this particular plant, I’ll know when the flower’s “uni-petal” (if you will) is partially open, I need to turn on the camera to record video for 5 mins straight, instead of interval photography. If this doesn’t make since to you, just watch the effin’ video… LOL!

Enjoy!

Time-lapse photography requires long hours of patient, hard work for only a few seconds of video footage. Is it worth it? HECK YES!!!

This is my first attempt at time-lapse photography, so I can only get better from here. Right?!

I hope you enjoy … the disappointment. LOL!

*** I love how the whole plant is reaching for the Heavens, really stretching itself and calling out to God for His blessing and help in it’s blossoming. *** It bloomed just a few minutes ago! Keep any eye out for that video, I’ll post it soon.

This would be about 1/2 mile south of 14th street to almost Old Cheney.

Just testing out speeding up video. 4X darn that is one very straight trail. Used to be rail line.

So Theresa’s Dad dropped off clocky as a cruel joke last night. I needed to get up at 8:00 cuz I picked up a friend and headed to the police auction. No good bikes. So T set clocky to wake me up. Also she waited for it to go off, then hit snooze, which activates the “run away” mode, and placed it in the room I was sleeping in.

It is the rudest alarm I have ever woken up to. The sound is peircing. I jumped and grabbed that sucker in a few seconds, opened the door, and watched T stop breathing from laughter. The thing is evil.

Just so you know, it took off a few seconds after the clip ends and made it to the front door.

It was a bit runny by the time I got it home, but I can taste the patriotism. Is that essence of eagle in there? It good. Fuggles really wanted some.

Was it worth going to walmart and many, many other stores looking for it? Nope. it is just ice cream, but darn it is pretty good.

I posted some clips that did not even mention daily show or Colbert and they got axed. I had already been warned so I guess I really cannot complain. All 73 of my videos have been deleted.
