This year the desert experienced a "super bloom" of flowers. I was very fortunate to be able to take several short trips to the southern end of the Anza-Borrego desert, and shot hours of footage to create this five-minute video. You'll see a variety of colorful flowers, great scenery, butterflies, and other insects, all set to music. Includes narration plus names of many of the flowers.

Well done! It's nice to see so much beauty in the desert. Watch out for the Jumping Cactus (cholla)!

Most excellent. Nice use of drone footage to compliment, not dominate, the story.

Thanks guys. Yep, lots of cholla cacti to watch out for. I've been going to the desert for so many years I avoid it unconsciously now, even in the thickest areas.

Currently I'm working on a video featuring a desert canyon which still has sections of a wagon and stagecoach road from the 1860s. Unfortunately the weather hasn't been very cooperative lately -- lots of very high winds, cloudy conditions, even some showers.
