bird's eye

One of our friends was standing on the second floor balcony for the Singers' debut holiday performance earlier this week, and leaned over the ledge to record Tucker's piano accompaniment. The video he texted looked like drone footage, POV God.

I'm imagining classic sweeping overhead shots of all sorts of things these last few weeks: 

birthday celebrations with balloons and boardgames and cake baked by the neighbor, a lovely Thanksgiving spread and tailgating treats and restaurant meals, pie for breakfast, holiday shows and movie theater matinees and multiple concerts, books and cousins and baking and decorating, a visit to the conservatory

Zooming out, shifting perspective away from many of the finer details, feels like a generous thing to do in December.
