My favorite time-lapse video is of Lotte growing up. Her father shot her every day and made two versions: Birth to 12 Years and 0 to 14 years. This is under my life list: Things I Would Do If I Could Do It Over Again. I think I was just too brain-dead when I was raising my kids to ever pull this off.
Why do you think we all enjoy time lapse photography? Is it the “cut to the chase”? Or stopping for a second to see how time passes? Or maybe both?
I hope you enjoy these three amazing time lapse nature videos. The first is of an acorn growing into a mighty oak tree over an eight-month period.
This time lapse video is of a mushroom that looks like a toadstool fairy mushroom called a Fly agaric growing and then dying.
This last time lapse video is of bees hatching in their hive.

I love time lapse, but I rarely conjure up the focus/determination to do it. Maybe as my kids get older 🙂
Hi MaryAnne,
I have ambitions to do my own but I doubt I will ever have that kind of patience!
