Spring has sprung, and my Florida backyard is undergoing a remarkable transformation. New life is bursting forth from the soil, including an amaryllis bulb that I thought had bitten the dust two years ago. To my surprise, it has resurfaced, sending up a tall green stem with a promising pod at its tip. Eager to capture this journey, I quickly set up my GoPro Hero 9 camera, powered by an external battery, and configured it for timelapse mode, snapping a shot every two minutes for about 12 hours each day. I dubbed this project a “bloom or bust” opportunity.


After five days of non-stop shooting, I got the beautiful outcome I wanted. I’m thrilled with the result and hope it brings solace and joy to those who watch it. Ah, the magic of spring and the timeless cycle of life’s renewal.
