The Story

Forest Park, St. Louis, MO
( 2:15 - 4:30 )

​
This purple martin birdhouse is in a prime location, surrounded by prairie rehab, next to a large water source. During the spring it would be at full capacity. This time of year there wasn’t a peep and the only things flying around were windblown fall leaves. I enjoyed the sense of animation they added to the scene, however, the ones that rustled up behind me sounded exactly like a person approaching and I would turn around to see who was there. After awhile I stopped turning and then nearly jumped out of my skin when someone said, “Are you using oils?” Very windy with temps in the upper 60s.

it means the artist was getting
