Stevenson’s dreamy lyrics juxtaposed with footage of a woman restocking a vending machine. Emily Tumbleson notes:
Footage taken on a Canon 7D. Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson from A Child’s Garden of Verses.

Hi, as the creator of Cherry Tree I want to thank you for posting my video piece on your site! I’d like to say, however, that I am in fact American! I was living in Scotland at the time, so you were close! :)
