That was the most beautiful thing video I've ever seen! Thank you!

faith in humanity restored

That was almost enough to make me want another one....

ALMOST

The pure joy of an innocent soul. Very sweet. Sometimes it is the little things that matter most.

Thank you Jude.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I seen the thread title but thought "What is it I need today?"
It brought a smile and a tear for the innocence and joy of that wonderful little girl.

May you Live large and Smile often.
Cheers from here.

I did it, sat and watched the whole thing. Was quite happy and content - thinking of my own little girl. Then at about 2:30 a little pop-up for another video showed in bottom right - "See homeless man get kicked between the legs (for money)"

...ugh...

Thank you for sharing the video though!

Yep that's exactly what I needed

You just put a whole new perspective on the storm raging outside, I'm going to stomp in few puddles just for the fun of it.

Thanks Jude

Adorable! And they must have had a major drought if that tot just experienced rain for the first time (or they just sheltered her for the first 18 months of her life!)

I want the ability to see the world that way again...

That was beautiful. I love the camera angles and the unconventional focus techniques - the footage is so surreal, as though it were a recording of an extremely significant and distant memory. Yes, that is exactly what I needed this morning. I think too often, we forget just how a developing mind perceives the world and the variety of new experiences - it moves something in me that I can't quite explain.

I remember some years ago I was sitting on my porch in the middle of the sweltering summer, observing my niece playing in the sprinkler on my front lawn, she was about the age of a toddler, like in the video. The sun was so bright - blinding white. She was so delicately and vividly experiencing a phenomenon that seems just an every day event to all of us grown-ups, but it was cute and beautiful to observe her creating new neural pathways and just playing. Maybe it was heat-stroke (haha), and maybe it was just my affection for my little Boo, but all of the sudden something shifted within me, I and wept tears of some unexplainable profundity. The above video is so strikingly similar to my memory of that event.

The only sad thing for me was realizing that I somewhere along the way lost that sense of wonder that she has. A bittersweet video.

Well my big fat furry friend, the next time a soft sky rains down warm upon your shoulders...you know what to do.

Stop for 2 minutes and 36 seconds...

Amazing. Thank you. It inspired me to get off my butt and go watch my coonhound have similar joy in the snow.....
