Something fishy (3rd 1 minute movie)

14/5/2019

Today I tried to film the fish in the pond. They are not easy to film as the water is quite turbid and mostly you just see the dark shapes. However, if you toss a bit of bread into the water the still, brown murky water suddenly comes to life as the fish go into a sort of feeding frenzy breaking the surface as they snatch the crumbs. Of course it doesn't last long once the canada geese spot a free lunch.

Garden & Beyond Notes
My garden keeps me busy and gives me the exercise I need to keep fit, although it does damage me from time to time. But more than anything else it gives me pleasure, happiness and a sense of belonging and of doing something useful and worthwhile. It enables me to express myself creatively and draws my attention to the beauty and ecology of life. In this blog I am telling the story of my garden and my involvement and experiences in it through my writing and the photos, movies, music, paintings and other artefacts - it inspires me to create. I have become more conscious of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals and our important role in enabling their achievement my experiments and projects in the natural world show how I respect and try to understand nature and try to enable life to flourish. I know that one day I will not be the custodian of this beautiful landscape we call our home. I must make the most of it now and preserve its presence in my memory knowing that it will carry on long after I am gone and that someone else will care for it and call it their home.
In March 2022 I joined a group of environmental activists in my village and so I have decided to expand my blog to take in the natural environment of which my garden is a part.
