Time lapses

Ktin shared, via gchat away message, this amazing website:

people take photographs over time

Just our kind of thing! Reminds me of this girl's life so far in a video.

the tree

On March 23 at approximately 6:15pm I saw on google reader that Julia had posted something new on this site (LJN).  After reading it, I briefly browsed other items and eventually checked facebook. On my newsfeed, Sarah Lawrence College, (which I "like") had posted this picture:

This photo struck me as very familiar! It is an almost identical to the photos that I took of this tree everyday in April of 2006. The photo was so familiar that I double checked to make sure that I was not looking at my own tree pictures which are also posted on facebook.

Julia and I have not been in as frequent touch as we sometimes are. Even so, at 6:36pm I received the following text message from her:

                                            "De: Julia

                                              How would you

                                              feel about

                                              posting the slc 

                                              tree photos to

                                              ljn every day of

                                              april?
                                              Mar 23, 6:36 pm"

Coincidence???!!! Maybe. The photos were posted on the same days that I took them in 2006, starting on April 2nd when I took my first photo.
