Utah Landscape

 This image was taken while on an ATV tour near Zion National Park, the vast landscapes were incredible, changing from dunes to unique rock formations in the blink of an eye. The passing storm allowed for these dramatic clouds overhead, while beams of sun broke through the cloudy atmosphere making the sand turn to vibrant shades of orange and red.

Santa Barbara Farmers Market

One of the best things about living in California is the year round fresh fruits and vegetables. Local farmers set up stands in Santa Barbara on Tuesdays and Saturdays to sell a variety of goods ranging from fruits, vegetables, cheese, nuts, breads, meats and flowers. While shopping for fresh goods to enjoy later at home you can often enjoy local musicians playing music.

Mulholland Drive

This is one of the spectacular views  you can see while driving along  Mulholland Drive in California. Mulholland Drive is a road that runs along the Santa Monica Mountains over looking various parts of Los Angeles. Many of the homes set back off this road are the most exclusive and most expensive homes in the world.

Music

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”

Pelican

• The great white pelican catches about 1.2 kg of fish a day in its large throat pouch.
• The brown pelican dives from a height of 15 m above the water to catch fish below below the surface. 
• There are seven species of pelican. Most live and feed around fresh water, but the brown pelican is a seabird.
• A great white pelican comes in to land on the water.
• One of the largest pelicans is the Australian pelican, which is up to 180 cm long and weighs about 15 kg.
• The white pelican lays 1-2 eggs in a nest mound on the ground. Both parents help to incubate the eggs and care for the young.
• Pelican chicks are able to stand at 3 weeks old and can fly at 7-10 weeks old.
• White pelicans work as a group to herd fish into a shoal by swimming around them in a horseshoe formation. 
• In flight, a pelican flaps its wings 1.3 times a second. This is one of the slowest wingbeat speeds, when actively flying, of any bird.

Saguaro Cactus

• The saguaro is a slow-growing plant. 
• It takes the cactus roughly 14 years to grow three feet tall and between 60 and 75 years to sprout its first arm.
• The saguaro cactus produces its first flower when it is about 50 years old. 
• The white blossoms open only at night, last less than 24 hours.
• The saguaro cactus is home to two kinds of birds, both the Gila Woodpecker and Glided Flicker bore holes in the saguaro and use them as a nest.
•  Native American people made flour, cakes and jam from the saguaro's fruit, pulp and seeds.
