Still-frames of "Serious Work"

Upon a forced return to my roots and hometown, our backyard needed daily attention as ground for our sustainability. I realised on a daily basis that there are ways of humans providing for themselves, if only they (we) take our animal characteristics for what they are - natural, requiring the proper nurture that literally can grow on the ground, below our feet.

In this video, I do no more than recognise this simple fact, and embrace the often antagonised task of taking care of this land wearing the uniform suit we associate with serious work.
