POSTED BY KIM — My husband sent me this link some time ago, and I return to it occasionly when I consider how I would spend any money I win in the lottery (note: I don’t buy lottery tickets, so I The Timelapse Garden Video Camera.assume I will find the winning ticket on the ground or something — I haven’t worked that part out yet).  This is a time-lapse video camera developed by Hammacher Schlemmer.

It can be yours for only $159.95! (An additional $6.95 gift wrapped.)

Mounted on a post, you put it in a fixed place in your garden, and it snaps pictures throughout the season so you can see flowers open and close, rabbits eating your roses, kids tromping through your vegetable garden, etc.

Here’s a video clip to whet your appetite.

It can take and store up to 18,000 images!  Withstand temperatures between 122 degrees F and 14 degrees F!  A light sensor that turns the camera off at dusk, and back on at dawn!

I’ll let you know as soon as the lottery committee contacts me…

  • Intriguing. But do I really want a time-lapse video of the woodchuck eating my plants — or would it just turn me into a homicidal (marmotacidal?) maniac? -Jean
