Backyard Activity

This recording has a number of sounds. During my Soundwalk I came across a neighbor who was about to sweep her driveway on Lyndale Avenue in Minnneapolis MN around 3:00 in the afternoon. At the same time there were three kids jumping on a trampoline a couple houses away and a boy who was skateboarding nearby. The kids jumping on the trampoline are heard clearly in the beginning of this recording and become distant until the end. The skateboarding is heard in the start of the recording following the trampoline noises. Following the skateboarding the woman begins to sweep. The dog in the yard becomes noticeable at this point. He did not seem to like the broom and begins to bark at it. You can hear his claws on the pavement along with his growling. Towards the end it is apparent that he got a hold of the broom in his mouth. This recording is concluded with a plain flying above along with the sounds of the boys on the trampoline. 3/12/09 Listen here.
