As we usually do on the 4th of July, we set up a time lapse Plantcam on top of a cabana owned by Barbara Clevenger, overlooking the intersection of SW 172nd and Maplewild Ave SW in Burien’s Three Tree Point neighborhood.

From sunrise (5:18 a.m.) to sunset (9:09 p.m.), shooting one frame every 30 seconds for over 15 hours, we compressed an entire day into 2:44.
