This is Planet Earth

If you didn’t get this for Christmas, hurry and get the 5-disc HD DVD set of Planet Earth from Amazon, it’s on sale as well as being eligible for Super-Saver shipping.

I cannot recommend this series highly enough. The photography and cinematography are absolutely stunning, breathtaking, and all sorts of other positive adjectives ending with -ing. The stately intonations of Sir David Attenborough add some wonderful narration.

Both adults and children will be spellbound watching this. Although it does contain death, since there is no way a documentary about nature could not feature the hunted and the hunter, it is not done in an off-putting manner.

This video will give you just a slight taste of the wonders that await you. And please, don’t think of my sudden YouTube fascination as slacking off so much as just enjoying the holidays!
