Watching this, or trying to, I was reminded of watching the great blue heron fishing when I was a little girl. I could sit there by the cove's edge while the tide came in, and with it, inching closer by the half-hour, the still, silent, focused heron.
Now I have to fast-forward.
However, I did find myself extremely fascinated, when I realized that I was lying here in my bed, on Earth, watching a video of myself, on Earth, from a zillion miles out in space... technology is marvelous.
