I went to the Hands Across the Sand event a couple of weeks ago and it was truly an awesome experience to be apart of. It was all about people getting together to take a stand against oil drilling. I loved seeing such a diverse group of people who share one common goal. One common hope. I was also able to capture footage of the suggestions people had to kick oil to the curb and I am so thankful for all who contributed. Each person I went to talk to were very kind in letting me take footage of them and I will have that up once I start creating videos again. In the meantime, here are some photos of the great event.

All in a Day’s “Work”:



Did you go to a Hands Across the Sands event? How was your experience? I’m sure if you went you got to see and meet all sorts of interesting people. I’ll definitely be going to the next one if it is needed and I hope you will too

Hello all,

Happy Saturday! I’m hoping to go camping today, so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t been since I was like in middle school! I’d say it’s a little overdue I came across this video and thought I would share. The voice, words, and images are so beautiful.

Hope you enjoy!

Hello fellow Nature Junkies,

I hope you are doing well. I hope you are enjoying your summer and seeking lots of fun experiences. I have been trying to take advantage of this great time of year and in doing so I have also been thinking about taking full advantage of my blog. After doing some thinking, I’ve decided to postpone my mission to visit every local park and natural land and vlogging about it. I’ll still be visiting these places of course (I would not be a happy camper if I didn’t), but I’m going to wait on the video editing and posting. There’s a couple of good reasons for this. First, I don’t have any editing software on my current computer. I thought the free program would work, but it has really become more of a hassle than a blessing. Secondly, I had absolutely no experience with taking video footage when I came into this. I felt like if not now, when? I see now though that I’d like to take a little time to learn more about the process and hopefully that will lead to better and more frequent videos.

I’m going to be saving up for a great editing program, so I will have that to focus on for the next few months. I think I will get more enjoyment out of the learning process and editing in general which will be more beneficial for anyone who takes the time to watch the videos. A win, win for all. In the meantime, I’m going to be writing about whatever may come to mind. I’ll continue to do my Spotlight Plant posts as well. I’m looking forward to the change and the chance to improve my writing. I hope you will like the new changes as well.
