    Alas, Sara died in April of 2012. I miss her greatly and I remember her fondly when I watch the video. She new when it was time to take my pictures and always ran outside to pose. I'm glad I kept her in the pictures and didn't shoo her away.

    Can you comprehend that someone spent 5 years just making this 1 minute video you just watched? Sometimes I feel kinda sad it takes people giant chunks of a lifetime to work on something that will usually be greatly overlooked. I know there's not much more to do with it but like the video, but there are so many, countless of lives dedicated to making their videos, or as in my case - songs, to little or no appreciation. Just made me think out loud. Barely anyone will get it but there's no harm in posting the thought anyway. Spend a moment to appreciate some of the people who bring you this content, UA-cam isn't TV, many of those "non-viral" people don't get paid and don't get anything out of entertaining you, so at least like their videos and leave a nice comment.

      ***** I'm baffled how you thought that was negative. I actually completely agree with him, along with 26 other people. Think about it, this took 5 years. I don't hate this video in any way, but making this was probably a waste of time; considering it did not receive much credit to what it was worth. Why would you call himself a "lame musician"? Don't let ignorance get the ahead of you; that's rude. He didn't try to offend anyone.

    "photographic obsession".... I like that. That's an incredibly accurate description. The dog, Sara, always seems to know when I am taking my pictures and runs out to lay on the lawn.
    For a while, that bothered me, then I thought, she is just as much a part of change as the tree growing. So, I stopped chasing her away.

    I do not consider myself an arborist as much as I consider myself a historian. I try to capture the steady flow of events that effected my life. When my in-laws lived in the house pictured, they had a passion for the yard. In later pictures after my divorce, not in the video, the yard doesn't look so good. The tree still grows, but so does the grass.
    This video captures the struggle my in-laws had keeping the lawn healthy when we had a dog that loved to lay in the same place all the time.

Seeing the tree change was neat, but the dog really got me because you watch the time and think how short they are here with us. Then I read the comments and really teared up to see the dog had passed 9 years ago and then see the video is 12 years old 😭 you blink and time passes you by.. God bless.

    I have about 20 different locations around the yard, (and one inside the house) that I set my camera on. I try to take at least one picture a week, more during springtime and fall, at the 12:00 noon in non-daylight savings days, and 1:00pm on DSDs. That way I hope to catch the equinox shadows. I use the layering technique in Photoshop to line up the photos and use an old Olympus Movie making program to create the video.

    I moved into a rented house that had a deciduous tree in the middle of the front yard. At Christmas, when all the leaves fell off, it had a perfect Christmas tree shape. When the decorations were marked down after Christmas, I bought a bunch of lights and ornaments to use the following Christmas. By then, that tree was twice its height. I couldn’t afford to buy all the decorations I would need. When I moved out of that house after six years, it looked like a mature tree, not a little sapling. I have never seen a tree grow so fast.
    I enjoyed seeing the dogs. One of my beloved dogs died in December. I needed to go through my photos this week and there he was. I called him my shadow, because wherever I was in the house, he’d be there too. The photos proved it. I adopted a little female rescue yesterday. She is sleeping on my feet, as she did last night. She is settling in nicely for a poor little creature who has been through so much. She had lost a third of her body weight in less than two weeks. She likes my cooking!

    This is tight. I was reading Matt 13:31-32 about a mustard seed and was thinking about a time lapse of a tree growing. How beneficial. Thank u for uploading

    This video is so cool. I’m so sorry about Sara. I have 3 pups and I’ve lost one before. I’m so sorry about Sara because it’s hard to live like that. ❤️❤️❤️
