Good Bye Old Paint

After sitting at the end of the driveway, rotting, for three years, it was finally time to say goodbye to my old Saab 900. The Saab was a fun ride. I was sad to see it go. Good bye old paint, rusted doors, rotted headliner...

A couple of Trumpet Flowers sprouted up in the yard and grew to enormous sizes. The blooms come to fruition within a day but seem to open before your eyes. I was intrigued and had to watch one open. The resulting video is a time lapse Lumiere.
