SUPERBLOOM and ZEN ROCK Garden At Sunrise DJI INSPIRE 2 Drone SKY's The Limit 29 Palms, CA 4K UHD
Please enjoy this fun video on catching the SUPERBLOOM at Sunrise at the Sky's The Limit Observatory and Nature Center. It is the gateway to Joshua National Park in Twentynine Palms California.
Try to see it in 4K if possible.
You will see two types of light in this video. The first is BEFORE SUNRISE so it is very soft and delicate, great for the colors of the small flowers.
Then you will see the SUN rise over the mountains and everything changes. Remember to always look behind you while looking at the sunrise as the color effect in the first 2 to 5 minutes can be very moving as it is here.
This golden post sunrise light is the best for photographing backlight Cholla (Teddy Bear) Cactus as you can see.
Then we play a visit to the STL Zen Rock Garden and you can see the evocative shadows s they are almost graphically painted across the textured surface of the fine pebbles.
The Drone goes in for a mindful experience around the special rocks of the garden.
I so hope you like this video that tries to recreate for you the peaceful and beautiful moments of pre and post sunrise in this special place-Sky's The Limit Observatory and Nature Center.
All that you see has been lovingly created and donated by volunteers. Please visit them and be sure to make a donation when you can. It goes a long way to education young minds to take in interest in Science and creates for the rest of us years of enjoyment to come.

Joshua Tree Night Sky
Joshua Tree National Park protects more that 800,000 acres of Southern California's High Desert. A sparsely populated region, just far enough from the bright lights of L.A. and Las Vegas, to host some of the darkest skies in the southwest.
In the United States especially, dark skies have become a desirable, and not easily attained natural resource for those living in more densely populated areas. So much so, that a very small number of our most well-protected national parks have even achieved full-fledged International Dark Sky Park status; of which Joshua Tree hasn't actually attained. Yeah, it's THAT difficult. But don't let that keep you from grabbing a telescope and heading into the park. It's well worth the effort.
During our visit we were able to capture a short time lapse of the night sky over the park from our lodging at the Larspur House, two miles from the park entrance in the Town of Joshua Tree. Even with the small amount of surrounding light, the skies were breathtaking, and even relatively easy to capture on our GoPro. (If we can do it, you can too!)
There are many ways to enjoy the dark night skies in Joshua Tree both in, and out, of the park.
When inside the park, you'll be treated to endless views of the Milky Way from nearly vantage point you choose.
The National Park Service offers these tips: Most of the park is open both day and night, so even non-campers can enjoy the night sky from roadside pullouts such as Echo T or Cap Rock in the Hidden Valley area, or from any pullout along the Pinto Basin road between Cholla Cactus Garden and Cottonwood. Set up a chair and enjoy! Use a flashlight or headlamp (preferably a red one) when moving, so you can watch for hazards such as uneven ground, cactus segments or snakes. Wear light colors or reflective items, and stay well clear of car traffic. It is not permitted to camp or sleep in your car along roadsides or in parking lots. (Source: NPS.gov)
Outside the park, the Sky's The Limit Outdoor Observatory and Nature Center is the ideal place to get a closer look at the stars. You can also rent your own telescopes or take a tour with Coyote Telescope Tours in Joshua Tree.
Whenever you make your next visit to Joshua Tree National Park. Make sure you put the night sky on your to do list!

City of Rancho Mirage Council Meeting of September 23, 2014
City of Rancho Mirage Council Meeting of September 23, 2014
Contacto Extraterrestre: La Nueva Etapa - Sixto Paz Wells -Conferencia- 15 enero 2015
Sixto Paz Wells conference. The New Stage of Extraterrestrial Contact. Translated from Spanish into ENGLISH from minute 0 to minute 56.25. In spite of some moderate innacuracies in astrobiology and quantum physics the gist of what is going on should be considered. An increase in human-ET consciously voluntary contact situations is predicted. Evidence given to the press (with different degrees of success) and the rise of several voluntary contactee experiencers makes this 41 yr old personal and collective contact case credible and serious even if it blends spiritual and practical approaches. Implications for society, science, spirituality are to be considered with a positive expectation. Conferencia por el contactado y autor Sixto Paz Wells en Lima, Perú el 16 de enero de 2015 al aproximarse el aniversario número 41 de la formación del grupo de contacto y de trabajo espiritual internacional Misión Rahma (que comenzó el 22 enero de 1974). Sixto realiza un recuento, habla sobre nuevos descubrimientos astronómicos y astrobiológicos, algunas experiencias recientes, avistamientos con la prensa y atisbos sobre cómo sería la nueva etapa de los contactos en relación a la actual situación global y humana. A pesar de algunas imprecisiones moderadas respecto a algunos temas astrobiológicos y cuánticos recomiendo tomar en cuenta las ideas científicas generales y el hecho histórico que el contacto ha sido corroborado por múltiples personas incluyendo el surgimiento de otros contactados además de Sixto Paz. También hay que considerar que en algunas ocasiones las invitaciones a periodistas han dado corroboraciones muy interesantes que en su conjunto pueden considerarse como evidencias serias. Las implicancias sociales, científicas, espirituales y éticas son dignas de consideración.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tucson () is a city and the county seat of Pima County, Arizona, United States, and home to the University of Arizona. The 2010 United States Census put the population at 520,116, while the 2015 estimated population of the entire Tucson metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was 980,263. The Tucson MSA forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area (CSA), with a total population of 1,010,025 as of the 2010 Census. Tucson is the second-largest populated city in Arizona behind Phoenix, both of which anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the U.S.–Mexico border. Tucson is the 33rd largest city and the 58th largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014).
Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the city, Sahuarita south of the city, and South Tucson in an enclave south of downtown. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Midvale Park, Tanque Verde, Tortolita, and Vail. Towns outside the Tucson metro area include Benson to the southeast, Catalina and Oracle to the north, and Green Valley to the south.
The Spanish name of the city, Tucsón [tukˈson], is derived from the O'odham Cuk Ṣon [tʃʊk ʂɔːn], meaning (at the) base of the black [hill], a reference to a basalt-covered hill now known as Sentinel Peak. Tucson is sometimes referred to as The Old Pueblo.
