"Cloud shall fail not from the face of it,/Stinging, ringing spindrift, nor the fulmar flying free"

The mountains look misty this morning, though it is probably dust from the winds, and the light of the sunrise over the ridge was muted. The neighborhoods are starting to smell of orange blossoms. Spring is springing.

A couple more video bits:

Someone attached a cam to the beak of a rescued pelican being taught how to fly. Yes, it's a GoPro ad. You still want to watch it. (via)

"Legend," a timelapse video of Icelandic landscapes set to the music of a Japanese post-rock band. Because Sigur Rós wasn't available? I dunno. Still beautiful. (via)

Another short, nearly wordless (some written English) fantasy movie: "Deathinger." This one's Taiwanese animation, and is hella cute. Children of personifications of death attend a school for psychopomps. (via)
