Penelope's gotten so big and Kathleen's hair has gotten so long that in the first few shots I was surprised G kept including two total strangers in the vlog.
First time I was like "Oh, I wonder if he asked those people if he could film them". Second time I was like "Oh, that's Penelope and Kathleen". It's especially weird because I've been watching old Desert Buses so my image of Penelope is that she's ankle high and excited about pictures of owls in chat.
I'm eating breakfast while watching this and my eyes are really blurry first thing in the morning so it took me all the way until the river crossing, over four and a half minutes in, to realize that Graham wasn't just filming a random woman and her kid, which would have been a very strange thing for him to do.
@@amythistxue1 I still have Penelope at the size she was in Australia in my head. This completely was a, "holy crap that much time has passed" vlog for me.
I remember viewers asking how much Penelope would be a part of LRR going forward, and them answering as much as she feels comfortable with, when she's ready to make the decision. "Can I add something" sounds like consent to me!
I didn't realize how much I'd missed your wholesome content, Graham, until I saw this video. Thank you for adding a peaceful nature walk/family outing to the RUclips ether.
Truly death approaches for us old people. on the upside can't wait for Penelope to crush people in Magic with her youthful vigor, if she choose to play the game.
@@Aedi on a stream she said "Tomato" in a very heavy English accent, which left Graham very surprised. It was on a highlight reel some time ago, though I don't remember when exactly.
If I recall correctly, there is a clip in DesertBus where they explain that she picked up the English accent from Peppa Pig, like a lot of kids her age.
I’m so happy to see more GVlogs. These make me so happy. Aside, the river crossing things are really cool and all, but my first thought was “Ah, a trail intentionally made worse for people with mobility disabilities.” But I’m glad at least one of the crossings had a bike bridge, it looked like.
The videos on this channel have the same vibe as catching up with a friend you havent seen in months and you wont hear from again for a bit, but always have a good time even if yall dont do much
I was also momentarily shocked by Penelope's size but then I remembered she is only a month younger than a nephew I see several times a week and my brain was like "yeah that tracks"
I just kinda go "awww" for twenty minutes straight at every video of Graham and Kathleen in full parentmode. This is the best family content on the tubes
So the video ended and it auto played the next video, but in appreciation of your time and effort making the new video, I have now "backed" to this video and hit the "like" button. Thanks Graham :)
It astonishes me everytime how smooth iPhone videos are. That image stabilization is something else. Also: I prefer the iphone ultra wide (if someone cares). Also: no extra lens to carry around.
That looks so nice! A litte jealous of that weaher. It's been cold and rainy here for several days now, and the pre-summer heat hasn't arrived yet. Will next week, though. Probably.
This is a lovely trail and I'm so pissed that with my current foot problems, I wouldn't be able to travel on it. Not just the stepping stone platforms, but also the length and going through the swamp. Also, I appreciate how you let Penelope decide how much she wants to say in your vlogs now.
1. I like the built-in camera better, definitely, for still shots, but for moving shots, either is fine. 2. "Hey look! An eagle!" Oh dang, that brought me back to Phailhaus! Wow! 3. Penelope has OPINIONS, and I love it. :-D
I'm guessing for the most part it's futile to resist, but in part it's balanced by the days when she goes from small well-spoken English woman to pissed off Gremlin, as kids are wont to do
One more piece of feedback in the on-board camera v Moment lens. The Moment lens introduces much more small movement to the shots. If you watch the edge of frame in the comparison around 5:28, you can see that the Moment lens has much more movement than the on-board camera. There are probably multiple reasons for this; the fact that it's a lens mounted to a case probably has some give, the additional size exaggerates any existing movement, the weight means more corrective movement, etc.
I started watching LRR like 15 years ago, sometime around when they did the Talk like a Pirate video. Its crazy to think about that video and now see Graham vlogging with his kid. Graham, we're old now..
Thank you Graham for allowing us to see this nice family walk. It warms my heart. Also Penelope is growing up to be as much of a hype woman as Kathleen I see!
Just wanted to say thanks for these vlogs. They're my favorite youtube content period. Pleasant, coherent, thoughtful, pretty. When they pop up I set them aside to watch with dinner when I need a reminder that the world is actually kind of nice.
If just having had a birthday this week didn't make me feel old enough, seeing Penelope as a grown ass child instead of a tiny toddler certainly did it :X Maybe it's because I don't watch any of the streams or DB (or because you've just kept her out of the videos), but it feels like it wasn't that long ago that she was just born o0
Great vid. Bigger fan of the iphone over the moment shots. I LOVE those platforms and wish there were a thing in more parks/nature trails. Nice to see the accessibility options near them as well.
There was, not a ton but a noticeable amount, more shakiness with the Moment lens. I wonder if the built-in ultrawide uses some kind of automatic image stabilization in the software that the wide doesn't cause even when you were walking with it, it felt a lot smoother. (or maybe the lens just makes the phone awkward to hold and was causing your hand to shake slightly more)
I recently bought my first drone. Since then I’ve been really interested in filming and video editing. I gotta work, but I’ll definitely finishing watching this when I finish
the moment (HA I MAKE JOEK) with the bicyclists.... yea if only a bell worked here.... i now have the airhorn that ive talked about getting.... cuz apparently i need to give people heart attacks at high speed to make sure they notice me....
It's interesting that the iPhone "ultra-wide" camera seems to be doing some kind of (quite good!) software correction to get rid of the warping around the edges that wide-angle lenses bring. It also looks like it's doing some stabilization; the footage with the Moment wide-angle looks a little more sensitive to hand movement. It's pretty remarkable how good the built-in ultra-wide looks! Honestly wondering if we're ever going to stop saying we take pictures on our phone and start saying we send texts on our cameras... And agree with everyone, those brutalist? river crossing stones were awesome! And the 70s park sign font. (Also loved it when Graham was like "I have played many knock-off Myst games that have a section like this... OK do you go that way, this way, that way? You'll have to backtrack through here a lot." And Penelope was like "oh that's easy SNAP CHOOSE MUDDY PATH" Graham you need to stop asking questions you don't want the answers to. XD)
Well everyone else already said that time passes to quick. I feel like I fallen off stepping stones like that many times... in videogames (I think I acctually have seen some like that in real life too but I cant remember where so maybe not)
Its so weird seeing Penelope being so big. As good parents, graham and Kathleen have kept her out of most of their videos/productions as she got older and gained her own identity/personality. but the last I remember of her she was but a wee toddler.
Over the pandemic I've been rewatching videos on this channel, it just reminded me a lot of what wasn't happening and made me relaxed and calm. This video did the same, thanks for creating such stunning wholesome videos!
It's still so wild seeing how much Penelope has grown. Definitely picking up a little bit of that sponsorship promoter vibes from her about those platforms
I had forgotten that you and Kathleen are parents. I see Penelope is in the "sticks are fun!" phase. As many have said, it's delightful to have a new vlog from you. :D
Hey Graham! Just wanted to let you know that I have been working through the backlog of all your PAX vlogs and living vicariously through your adventures in the time of covid. Thank you sir!
I'm just here for that good "Graham and Kathleen being excellent parents" content
Penelope's gotten so big and Kathleen's hair has gotten so long that in the first few shots I was surprised G kept including two total strangers in the vlog.
I didn't figure it out the first time they were shown, I figured it out *because* they kept showing up
First time I was like "Oh, I wonder if he asked those people if he could film them". Second time I was like "Oh, that's Penelope and Kathleen". It's especially weird because I've been watching old Desert Buses so my image of Penelope is that she's ankle high and excited about pictures of owls in chat.
yeah I was so not prepared for Penelope to be a small child already, feels like it wasn't that long ago that she was born
I'm eating breakfast while watching this and my eyes are really blurry first thing in the morning so it took me all the way until the river crossing, over four and a half minutes in, to realize that Graham wasn't just filming a random woman and her kid, which would have been a very strange thing for him to do.
@@amythistxue1 I still have Penelope at the size she was in Australia in my head. This completely was a, "holy crap that much time has passed" vlog for me.
Penelope: *Talks about platforms*
Graham: "Can't get more of a definitive review than that."
I live for this.
I look forward to the next installment of 'Penelope Reviews' - next time: playgrounds.
@@tinynewtman I would so be down for that kind of content cause Penelope is freaking adorable!
Me listening to the smol child: You’re absolutely right about every single thing you say
I remember viewers asking how much Penelope would be a part of LRR going forward, and them answering as much as she feels comfortable with, when she's ready to make the decision.
"Can I add something" sounds like consent to me!
"I learned a lot, which isn't true, but I learned a little." -Graham
Child on a walk "IVE GOT A STICK! IM GONNA HIT SOMETHING! Im tired of this stick im gonna throw it now." would seem to be universal.
Yes . . . just children >.>

"Starks do chill things and review stuff as they meander" is my new fav genre.
Graham: Hey everyone time for a camera check!
Like 60% of the comments section: *OH MY GOD YOUR CHILD IS SO LARGE!*
To be fair, last we seen of her, she was barely more than prop baby sized.
@@StapleCactus dont get men wrong here, I am one of those people going 'child got large' too xD
@@sordcooper2 Yeah, first thing I thought as well. Like, where did the time go?
Oh my gosh, look how big Penelope is! She's growing up so fast!
one of my biggest sadness from covid has been the reduced amount of graham vlogs, i just love them
I didn't realize how much I'd missed your wholesome content, Graham, until I saw this video. Thank you for adding a peaceful nature walk/family outing to the RUclips ether.
*Sees how big Penelope has gotten* Well, I certainly didn't need that reminder of the inexorable march of time today.
Truly death approaches for us old people.
on the upside can't wait for Penelope to crush people in Magic with her youthful vigor, if she choose to play the game.
I love the "Narrator" style subtitles, especially the last one. And just for the record: I do prefer the look of the built-in ultrawide.
0:33 "The Salmonid Enhancement Program" sounds like they're making cyborg fish.
Jeez the art even supports that reading too!
enhance your salmon
I would read that book
"If _you're_ looking for natural salmon enhancement"...
Project S.A.L.M.O.N.I.D.A.E.
This vlog contains humans of the small, medium, and large variety!
I nearly dropped my phone I was laughing so hard XD
During the platforms part I flashbacked to Graham falling off platforms in Crash Bandicoot and kept going noooo jump noooow.
I learned how much I missed GVlogs - would love to see more "nature parks of Victoria" vlogs
The v is for Victoria and the log is because there are logs in the video
Why is Penelope so tall already?! When did all that time pass? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It's been COVID for roughly 20 years already. I'm surprised she isn't in college yet.
I swear the next time I watch one of these videos Penelope's going to be as tall as Graham.
I can't believe how big Penelope is!
You really *can't* get more of a definitive review than that. It's the kind of attitute Google maps or whatever needs more of.
8:39 I remember there was the tomato incident, but wow Penelope sounds quite English...
the tomato incident?
@@Aedi on a stream she said "Tomato" in a very heavy English accent, which left Graham very surprised. It was on a highlight reel some time ago, though I don't remember when exactly.
I think Graham's parents are English, that's probably where she's picking it up.
If I recall correctly, there is a clip in DesertBus where they explain that she picked up the English accent from Peppa Pig, like a lot of kids her age.
@@CountNodonora Comfirmed, that show and Puffin Rock.
The river crossing stones remind me so much of the acro bike crossings in ruby and sapphire...
Wow I was excited when Agatha Fisty came back but I didn't realize just how starved I've been of Gvlogs
2:26 Trust Mafia definitely sounds like a Canadian name for a criminal enterprise.
Goes well with the Reliable Syndicate and the Very Prompt Gang.
Trust Mafia's are just banks.
I’m so happy to see more GVlogs. These make me so happy. Aside, the river crossing things are really cool and all, but my first thought was “Ah, a trail intentionally made worse for people with mobility disabilities.” But I’m glad at least one of the crossings had a bike bridge, it looked like.
They all did, thankfully.
@@GrahamStarkVlogs that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for telling me.
Content is Wholesome AF. With all the sad around this was nice to see. Well done.
That sky with the eagle was so blue it was almost painful to stare at.
Also she's already a person aaaaaargh
okay the range of greens and detail @7:33 is amazing for a phone camera
I was not previously aware that Graham could get freckly. I love it!
It’s that danged sun, I tells ya
Really enjoyed the colours in this
Tech demo + nature walk + calming music = perfect morning watch while sipping tea
The videos on this channel have the same vibe as catching up with a friend you havent seen in months and you wont hear from again for a bit, but always have a good time even if yall dont do much
I love this, thank you
Feels so weird to see Penelope be like a whole person now
Those platforms would be used for some brutal hopscotch if I was growing up there.
Now I want to walk that trail.
I was also momentarily shocked by Penelope's size but then I remembered she is only a month younger than a nephew I see several times a week and my brain was like "yeah that tracks"
Yeah I have a little one that is within 2months of Penelope’s age so it makes sense but still strange.
Penelope has sold me on those stepping stones.
Holy crap, Penelope is like, an adult now! What is time?! Also, man I've missed these videos.
I just kinda go "awww" for twenty minutes straight at every video of Graham and Kathleen in full parentmode. This is the best family content on the tubes
thanks for taking us with you 💖

I'm guessing for the most part it's futile to resist, but in part it's balanced by the days when she goes from small well-spoken English woman to pissed off Gremlin, as kids are wont to do
A+ review from Penelope.
A+ luminous springtime greens too.
Great video. Makes me want to go walk my town's own nature trails.
OMG Penelope has gotten so big! Thanks for taking us along on your family outing ❤️

High key favorite vlogger, excited to see you posting more videos
Penelope has some excellent reviews.
Thanks for sharing Graham and family.
Oh dear, the prop baby has become mobile!
where's the person who put time stamps for when shoes are on screen
I started watching LRR like 15 years ago, sometime around when they did the Talk like a Pirate video. Its crazy to think about that video and now see Graham vlogging with his kid. Graham, we're old now..
Thank you Graham for allowing us to see this nice family walk. It warms my heart.
Also Penelope is growing up to be as much of a hype woman as Kathleen I see!
blackberries are the kudzu of the PNW. what a nice trail! I wish I lived near it, that looks like an awesome walk.
the river slabs remind me of the stepping-stone slabs you sometimes get in Japanese gardens, typically across ponds.
I forgot how much I missed these videos.
i'm so happy to see you v-logging again. makes me start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Just wanted to say thanks for these vlogs. They're my favorite youtube content period. Pleasant, coherent, thoughtful, pretty. When they pop up I set them aside to watch with dinner when I need a reminder that the world is actually kind of nice.
looks like a pretty awesome little trail. The platforms were particularly neat.

I was not prepared for the excellent input from Penelope. This was a fun blog, thanks for taking us along.
Seriously, those platforms are amazing.
The wholesomeness fills my heart ❤️
Penelope has gotten so big T_T Seems you've taken good care of the baby you found in the prop closet.
1 - Great to have Gvlogs again!
2 - Obligatory P is huuuuuuuuge comment
3 - Moment is very cool, that anamorphic shot is *chefs kiss*
I recently bought my first drone. Since then I’ve been really interested in filming and video editing. I gotta work, but I’ll definitely finishing watching this when I finish
As a someone outside the content game, I appreciate videos like this as people talking passionately about their world is always interesting.

I have never seen stepping stones like that. Amazing! I love it!
My favorite vlogger is back!
I loved Penelope's critique of the stepping platforms, however, her choice of words made me think she has a future as Dave's Spokeswoman.
Penelope adding her review of the platforms is A+
It's still so wild seeing how much Penelope has grown. Definitely picking up a little bit of that sponsorship promoter vibes from her about those platforms
And if you want a stepping stone on your professional journey we've partnered with
@@TheEvilCheesecake If it had cut to that. I would've had to leave work cackling like a madman
This made me homesick for the PNW, but in a good way. Same as Road Quest.
What a gorgeous park. I was surprised at the rating of 7, but then I remembered Graham and Kathleen have been to Japan, Australia, etc.
I had forgotten that you and Kathleen are parents. I see Penelope is in the "sticks are fun!" phase.
As many have said, it's delightful to have a new vlog from you. :D
Love to see these return!
I've missed these!
Wow Penelope is growing so fast. Also I should probably look up walking trails in my area that looked so nice.
Good news: new Gvlog!
Bad news: RUclips didn't bother putting it in my sub feed...
Hey Graham! Just wanted to let you know that I have been working through the backlog of all your PAX vlogs and living vicariously through your adventures in the time of covid. Thank you sir!
