In the last post, I mentioned that I was holding onto some half-finished videos. Today I finished it up as good as it's going to get. Google Photos made a short video (the peppy music at the beginning) that I added on to. I actually found the music they used to extend into the whole video (thanks, Shazam) and bought it, but things being as they are sometimes, my movie doesn't want to make it work. Almost all of these photos have been enhanced by apps or Photoshop; that was the point of it for me: to play with these strange-shaped and -textured plants that I am attracted to. Not a desert person, by far, I do love cacti. They turn their nose up at traditional plants and the notion of "pretty"  and know they are sturdier and braver in tough conditions. They are funny, and they make me smile. 

 

I’m only wishing to go a-fishing; for this the month of May was made.
