Even the trailer is inspiring in this classic one-minute #naturevideo meets #TheShawshankRedemption.
Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.

It’s a grasshopper, isn’t it? They have wings, don’t they?
Why is the silly thing just carrying them?
Mary – LOL. Well, I don’t rightly know. Presumably it could have hopped, too, although I don’t know how well that works going straight up. I’ll watch for other animals doing things they’re not good at.
very nice video, though, with excellent commentary!
Mary – Thanks!
I will hear the stirring soundtrack and remember The Longest Climb every time someone around here makes a big deal about doing the ordinary. Chuckle tee-hee!
Laurna – Fair enough. Or you can stand back and be amazed at what spectacular feats the ordinary seems to encompass. Or both . . .
