I also decided to make a time lapse video of the avacado trees growing.  I set up my camera on a tripod and every day I am going to take several pictures of the plants.  Hopefully I will be able to eventually compile the pictures into a really cool video.

My laptop has a 1280×800 display, so the images are in that resolution. If you want me to make a different resolution, just write a comment and I will be happy to oblige. One of these days I am going to write a short how-to complete with screenshots! The last one is my current background, and probably my favorite.
