Wednesday Walk - A Vintage Inspired Video of My Neighbourhood

It's Wednesday, and that can only mean one thing! #wednesdaywalk ! Such a simple initiative, but it shows us all four corners of the world, from Jay in Massachusetts to me in Cape Town!

This post is actually inspired by two different people - @whatsup and @donnadavisart 💜

@whatsaup - because we were speaking about my neighbourhood, and she told me how she always thought of Africa previously as dry and dusty, before hearing from a fellow blogger about it.

@donnadavisart - because I saw her do a video of her #wednesdaywalk , and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever

While my video is not narrated or with the beautiful ASMR sounds like Donna's, I did put it to some music and play with the editing.

I've been wanting to figure out how to digitally export videos to a slow frame speed for a while, all on mobile, and I finally did figure it out!

I was going for that jerky, vintagey vibe and was actually quite pleased with how it came out.

This video was taken a few months ago in our cooler months, and I just love how cold and gray it was back then

I live in a very green area of Cape Town, where it is mostly families and older people, and everyone really takes care of their garden.

I just love walking around, seeing the flowers and gardens, and especially in the colder months, smelling the wood smoke and feeling the crunchy leaves

I am also a mad cat lover and have made friends with all the buddies in the hood. Some are so shy, and some a little more adventurous. And some I might just steal cuz they are so cute. They better watch out!

I'd love to see your neighbourhood! Lets all do a neighbourhood walk!!!
