A garden offers us color and scent and a connection with the amazing wonders of nature. Sometimes we see nature at work — with a pollen covered bee or a butterfly landing on a sweet-smelling flower. These are not rare occurrences; it’s just the capturing of them that is rare. Imagine being able to see a hummingbird drinking nectar, or pollen shaken out of a flower. You are in luck…
Follow this link http://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_the_hidden_beauty_of_pollination.html to hear Louie Schwartzberg speak for a few minutes on the wonder of nature, and to watch part of his film “Wings of Life: A Love Story That Feeds the Earth”. You can learn more about him at his website http://www.movingart.tv.
I take no credit for this post. I give all the credit to my mother, who sent me an incredible video; the filmmaker, Louie Schwartzberg, for his inspirational words and vision; and to the natural world around us offering such wonder in will take your breath away.
Just watch the video. There is nothing I can say that can surpass the awe you will experience.
Until next time,
