Upwards blossoming convection, towering noon clouds over ocean
Scene notes:
An aquamarine ocean in the lower eight frame. Precipitation, rain, is already visibly falling from the distant towering cloud, which grows and is too small of a cell to have it fall back on itself, to perpetuate itself long into the day. A sliver of a tropical beach and landscape are visible in the far-left distance. Other small Cumulus begin their ascent as the clip reaches end.

Scene notes:
… the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter, in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.

Scene notes:
Many mature Crocus plants with their flowers in bloom, purple, and following the small creek which comes through the composition far to near. Many meadow trees are spaced well apart, until the clearing beyond, and more woods. The grasses cover the terrain as the camera pans left to mossy trees and more flowers.

Scene notes:
Snowy, frost-kissed branches which create shade. An exemplar of the beginning of winter in Oregon’s forest. Sopping wet Spanish Moss hangs from several thin branches is illuminated brilliantly in complex light rays, created from fog moving in and out of the scene. They stretch left-right from the small tree. More hanging beards of Spanish moss on the right help to create these shadows, and the sun slowly moves in the bright pale blue sky that is barely seen behind these evergreen trees in the forest beyond.

Scene notes:
Both Spanish and Reindeer moss is observable on the two largest tree trunks of this scene as the camera pans slowly down on the scene. At the outset of the clip, a red flower is seen at the right of the frame. Shadows move

Scene notes:
Panning right, the icicles the frame is moving over drip as they slowly melt, and the shadows from the trees move over the snow and mossy ground; and a diagonal trunk, leaning from the hillside, casts a shadow across the frame.
