But I ran out of time, so I just put them in order, and added music and an intro. Yes, it is an Aesculus. The mystery is, what species? :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-81462909547301170302016-05-16T02:49:07.789-05:002016-05-16T02:49:07.789-05:00There is a particular kind of magic to watching le...There is a particular kind of magic to watching leaves unfurl, I love being able to observe it in that much detail, thank you!Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-35283190037398285242016-05-15T13:34:23.481-05:002016-05-15T13:34:23.481-05:00very cool video! certainly looks like a buckeye no...very cool video! certainly looks like a buckeye nowHollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-69933309144470115722016-05-15T12:15:28.582-05:002016-05-15T12:15:28.582-05:00Beth this was wonderful...I really loved seeing it...Beth this was wonderful...I really loved seeing it fully unfurled....now I wonder have I seen a tree like this around here.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-9629311089480844662016-05-14T08:26:28.764-05:002016-05-14T08:26:28.764-05:00charming time lapse Beth and what a fun project to...charming time lapse Beth and what a fun project too.

I ran out of time to do a fancy, cropped/edited photo slide show, so I simply loaded the photos into Windows Movie Maker and adjusted the timing, added a brief intro and some music. It really is fun to play with video editing, but it's time-consuming, even for a simple video. I liked the bud and the narrow leaves, too. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-73448143153098097412016-05-13T14:43:36.264-05:002016-05-13T14:43:36.264-05:00Nice!
