An Ode to Nature is a short film I created to celebrate nature. All of the footage was filmed either in my yard or pretty near to my house. The astrophotography was shot in my backyard. I deeply love the American Southwest, filming, and obviously nature haha. I hope that you enjoy this short film and that it fills your soul with peace and tranquility. If you do like this video, please share it with someone you think will also enjoy it. Sharing any of my videos (or my other creative endeavors) really helps me out a lot!

Note: The first Ralph Waldo Emerson quote in this film is from an address he delivered July 15, 1838. It can be found on page 107 of his book Nature and Selected Essays (Penguin Classics edition.) The second quote, from his essay “History” can be found in the same book on page 167.

Enjoy!
