New video today. I wanted to try out some time based filming. The camera really shows it’s limitations and we have a surprise visit by my wife’s feet but all in all it was pleasant experience. I think I’ll try again using photos.

Remember we had some snow a while ago? Well I said at the time that two of our trees had really suffered. Well I took my courage in both hands yesterday and sawed off the damaged branches. The damage was worse than I had thought. In addition the trunks were thicker and the sawed off [...]
