Sun dial for the garden

Inspired by the casted shadows we think we’ll get a sun dial for the garden. Maybe I’ll add something to the top of the house and have the markings embedded in the garden. Turns out sun-dials are dependent on your latitude, which makes sense when you think about it.

Incidentally Kingston is at 41° 55’N and just to compare, Oakland is at 37° 48’N and Cardiff (UK) 51° 29’N. So Kingston isn’t so different from Oakland but boy is the weather different.

Snow at Disaster Mansion

What I like about this video is how much the tree limbs bow under the weight of the snow. It’s no wonder tree limbs break. Filming was between 17th February 17th to 17th March.

The seasons change but Disaster Mansion remains the same

Cleaning the garden of seven years of untamed growth. March 16th to April 16th. There were some issues with some of the days, such that when I stitched them together the video would pause, hence a few videos instead. Apologies and they aren’t all that interesting anyway.

When I set these cameras up I had them recording from 7am to 7pm. As time ticked on the days got longer and I missed sunrises and sunsets.
