Hidden Gem In Venice - YouTube

Rudy and Veerle, you guys are a great team. Really like the storyline. Although I’m not knowledgeable about flowers and, for that manner, plants and critters not native to our area, the story helps to educate and make one more appreciative of our biodiversity in the world we live.

Just recently in the news, a Chinese deep sea dive revealed a huge amount of life at 8,000 meters under sea in the Pacific. It is awsome how such a variety of life has evolved, and even at that depth. This is inner space.

Speaking of flowers, we have some Hot Lips and one can only wonder how the bees find them so interesting because they are so small. Due to their size, one would think there can’t be any, or much, in the way of nectar on them but the bees constantly work them over.

You’re really making good use of that new drone, too. The combination of kit items like the cam, “still camera”, drone (provides a good overview), audio (including voice-over), and lets not forget the fine bristle brush, all help to provide variety for the viewer. The storyline and ‘acting’ was really good, and also the annotated picture. It was enjoyable to watch and liked it.

The slower pace of the clips compared to most ‘modern/current’ video was appreciated; the younger generation seem to have a shorter attention span, though.

Something to add: what about a something of where Venice is? Sarasota County, Florida? (did a search for it)
Nicely done!

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! We’re glad the story helped highlight the importance of biodiversity. That deep-sea discovery is amazing, isn’t it? As for the Hot Lips flowers, it’s fascinating how bees find them so appealing despite their size.

The drone has been a great addition, and we’re happy you noticed! We’ve been trying to keep the pace slower to give viewers more time to appreciate the details.

And yes, Venice is in Sarasota County, Florida. Appreciate you checking it out! Thanks again for watching!
