As an experiment, earlier this month I started posting 15 second videos of our homestead on TikTok. Very simple videos, just looking at the ducks, chickens, etc; occasionally with some titles or music, but mostly just plain “original sound”.

Since I like to own all of my own content, I also save the videos to my photo library, and I thought I’d cross-post them onto this blog.

(This is also my first time embedding video on my site, without going through YouTube; please let me know if you have difficulty viewing it.)

I recently built a floating island for the ducks, to give them somewhere safer to rest. They seem to enjoy it.

Enjoy a minute of our ducks swimming around our pond, occasionally flapping their wings, zooming, and diving.

Spotted in the feral cat feeder: a spider lowered itself onto a large leaf on the floor, and hoisted it up to the ceiling... but ultimately dropped it. An impressive effort, regardless! This video is at 8x speed.

A time-lapse from the camera by the duck house, showing the ducks swimming around the pond and going in and out of the duck house.
