Nature watch part 2

Just a few more shots I took around my house that I had nothing better to do with. =) Again, I found out some very interesting stuff.

Try this yourself, there's nature everywhere, learn something about it! ;-D

Excellent music as background really, yesterday I could not hear it due to a problem here, just heard it after rewatching the video. You know how to choose them all right.

Makes me want to get a better camera. My own experience with cutworms has been rather bad, they used to destroy vegetables in my garden. Of course raccoons were even worse. Tending a garden was supposed to take my mind off stressful things and cheer me up, but it ended up doing the opposite. Words cannot describe the anger one feels when his prize watermelon he cared for the entire summer ends up completely eaten overnight by those rascals (raccoons). =P ...I got off topic a bit there, haha.

Very nice, educative shots. Amazing what one can find in one's backyard.

And the beautiful 4th as background music - very fitting. Thanks.

Again, I agree! =P

Right now it's probably the 9th 4th movement; the 3rd symphony 1st and 4th movement, and the 6th; all of it. But I agree they are all great. 7th and 8th are awesome too.

It's a pity he only found it in him to write the one opera but he is my favorite overall classical composer by far. I was just listening to his "Cantata on the death of emperor Joseph" today that he wrote at only 19 yrs old,(!) the soprano aria from that (va stiegen die menschen) is just *sublime.*

Nothing like the driving power and serene clarity of Beethoven ! Very emotional stuff !

[tomfroekjaer]

Hard to say. Change my mind all the time :-) Originally it was the 5th, then the 3rd, then the 6th, then the 7th and then the 9th.... At the moment I think it's the 7th and the adagio and the powerful presto/chorus of the 9th ! But they are all great from the Mozart inspired first two to the grand finale of the 9th. !

[ShawDAMAN]

What's your favorite symphony of his.

[ShawDAMAN]

Same here, and I agree! I also prefer the 4th to the 5th. :-)

[tomfroekjaer]

No wonder I recognized it... Beethoven was my first love of classical music. I think the 4th is his best - even better than the Emperor, heard it the first time in 1967.

Very nice search around your house! Wow what a collection of insects over there! Don't they get into the house?! I would be afraid... Great colors of nature - insects, leaves, plants - partly (or mostly) due to a very good camera I'm sure. Your an artist that's what you are.

I'm not sure I understand your first question...

But I live in the Northeaster united states. Thanks for commenting!
