This has been a job and a half! lol.. I wanted to make a longer video, sort of summing up the month of June. That includes the Summer Solstice with (in brief) my thoughts about this high point of Life, of Hope in the solar year. Also, I wanted to share with you some slow walks on the acreage and on the farm beyond, sharing the beauty and richness of the season- flowers, butterflies, birds, Trees! And finally, some garden views, with a few snippets of the constantly changing parade of flowers and pollinators. This was my first time making a video of this length, and there was a lot to learn- the hard way! I had each day/segment edited and saved as the kind of file my editing softwared uses, then joined them all and added music etc- that already took a lot of time. Then--- my old laptop (or failings in the software?? but at least partly the former) simply didn't have the oomph to save the whole thing in a viewable format! I tried repeatedly, and failed, repeatedly. In the end I had to save each of those smaller sections as a finished video then join them all, save that, and then add the music! So I'm finally, almost ready (it's rendering now, then final checks...knock on wood) to post my June video at the beginning of August..lol There are a few little glitches in the video, but oh well! I hope you will see past all of that and enjoy spending some time with me celebrating Great Mother/Earth and Saule/Sun!
