Mambo Leaves
Posted at 5:57 pm
Jul 2ndI’ve been reading a lot about how your thoughts create your reality, so I thought I’d give it a try. Here my Chinese fan palm and Abyssinian Banana plant dance a Cuban Mambo choreographed by an English man in a Carolina garden.
The music is The Mambo Craze, by De-Phazz.

Symphony of Lightning
Posted at 11:50 am
Jun 19thI made a short video using old childhood photos of mine collaged together. My first few years were spent growing up in a small town, Knaresborough, which was quite a magical place for a child. First Memories describes some of that magic. Throughout my life I have used my imagination and creativity to rescue me. The scarlet macaw is a metaphor for my imagination getting me through the tough times. The beautiful piece of music, La symphonie des éclairs, by Zaho de Sagazan, seems to be the perfect accompaniment as it explores the idea of turning chaos into something beautiful.
The music is La symphonie des éclairs, by Zaho de Sagazan.

Portulaca Party…Happy Pride
Posted at 5:14 pm
Jun 11thMy little portulacas look like a fiesta every morning. The divas don’t wake up until 10 am and they’ve had enough by noon. They take the rest of the day off – but for those two hours they go full throttle. Here is a video tribute to them — by the way, unlike my alternate persona DJ Fleur, I am really just a confirmed wallflower.
The music is Vamos a La Playa (Radio Edit) by Loona.

Tribute to Lola, my Sago Palm
Posted at 11:09 pm
May 19thLola, my Sago Palm, had a rough winter. The cold and the snow damaged all her leaves. Last year she didn’t put forth any new growth so I was little bit concerned this spring. I gave her some coffee grounds and apparently that was just the jolt she needed.
Short film Lola starring Lola as herself and Shy Boy Cortez as Tony. Music is Copacabana by Barry Manilow.
