JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK TIME LAPSE
Sometimes you just need to get away. This camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park, California’s high desert destination, was just the thing! And its my first time lapse!
Watch it in HD!
What do you think?
SPRING
I believe everything happens for a reason. The last time I saw a peacock was when I left Olympos, Turkey after living and working there for 2 months in the Spring of 2011. By that time I had been traveling for 10 months from Los Angeles to Thailand to India to Turkey and I was getting ready to see what Germany had in store for me. I left the US with less than $500 in my pocket and arrived in Bangkok with less than $100. Money was no object. My life was being guided. No question. That visit from the Olympos peacock was a road sign signaling rebirth and renewal to come. The gratitude that sprung from me at that time was something I felt deep in my bones.
Last week marked 2 years since this sacred animal had made its appearance in my life and on the first day of Spring of this year, the signs we literally looking me right in the eye. At Palos Verdes, California’s Strawberry Lane peacocks roam freely among residential homes, yards, and gardens. I’m not sure why they are drawn there or why I was guided there but one thing is certain of this brightly feathered road sign: what comes next is going to be beautiful.

OPEN POST: Your Apocalypse is brought to you by…
We’re alive! Just as many expected, the Mayan doomsday was a fallacy. Instead, people are seeing that the Mayans were not foreseeing a day of doom, but rather the destruction of the mental and emotional blocks we have manifested over time as mankind. So, I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone out there - everyone looking for paradise, everyone dreaming of another world, everyone looking for heaven, luxury, pristine beauty, and so on - I’d like to remind you all that it’s here! It may not be in your backyard, maybe it’s not down the street, or a short ride away, but it’s here on our gorgeous planet Earth, offering itself freely. We must nurture it.
I know that not everyone has the ability to pay for some exorbitantly priced trip, and that every trip I take is a true luxury I am honored to experience. But if there is anything I’ve learned and tried my best to communicate with this blog, my photos, and my actions, it’s that you don’t have to be rich to experience the bounty this planet has to offer.
So please, as we enter into a new phase in the history of mankind, I implore you - be one with our home planet, live large, be open, and love with pure hearts.
I’ll close with this:
