Happy Arbor Day! A Clip

Here’s a clip I put together just for Arbor Day. The bulk of this clip was shot on our first visit with the Milarchs in 2007. (Please pardon my little artsy interlude which was shot elsewhere.) This is one of my favorite bits of footage and I’m so glad cinematographer Wolfgang Held kept rolling, even though I told him he could stop shooting. (In 2007 I was adamantly against being in the film in any way.) Like several of the other clips on the blog, I don’t know if there’s a place for this in the film, but there’s a place for it here!
