The Sweet Outdoors

This post  points you in the direction of four very short videos of forts being built.  I love the sweetness that is portrayed - picking up a worm, cooking an egg.  I love this portrayal of men doing something typically "manly" (building something) but in a very child-like, understated way.  And the forts are pretty cool too.

I just think this is an incredible piece of art.  We've had discussions with many people about the value of abstract art.  I don't mind it, although it seems to drive some people crazy as an insane waste of time and money.  How about this?  Watch the video too.  I just LOVE it.
