Blue Monday, Green Trees

screen shot

Apparently, Blue Monday, the first Monday after the holidays, which this year falls on Jan. 6, is the most depressing day of the year (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/06/blue-monday-january-6-most-depressing-day_n_4548954.html). Therefore, as a public service, I am posting this link to a serene, beautiful video of a year in the life of a forest. It was made by a filmmaker who blended together 40,000 photographs he took from his front window over a 15-month period: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/06/blue-monday-january-6-most-depressing-day_n_4548954.html
   Here's the filmmaker, Samuel Orr, describing how he made the film, plus an excerpt from a documentary he made that focuses on a nest of Eastern Phoebes under his eaves (sure to get you out of your funk): http://www.motionkicker.com/a-forest-year/
