  • Asters get their name from the ancient Greek word ????? (astér), meaning "star", referring to the shape of the flower head. Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers...Bees play an important role in pollinating flowering plants. Bees either focus on gathering nectar or on gathering pollen. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees, especially the domesticated European honey bee.

  • Yosemite National Park's most well-know feature is Half Dome, which stands at an altitude of 8,836 feet and 4,737 feet above the valley floor. As the rock was exposed, weathering and exfoliation of shell-like outer layers of the rock shaped the dome portion of the rock to its current shape. The summit is attainable as a day hike in the summer, if you have the stamina to undertake a 17-mile roundtrip hike with 5000 feet of elevation gain from the valley floor...This is an infrared image which captures light that we cannot see and turns it into a visible image. Plants like flowers and grass reflect more infrared light and appear brighter in infrared images while the sky reflects less making it darker.

The Museum building was designed by W.H. Weeks, an architect from Watsonville , California , and was built by the construction firm of Stephens and Maino of San Luis Obispo. The structure's sandstone was brought from Los Berros, near Arroyo Grande. The granite in the building was quarried from nearby Bishop's Peak and brought into the city on a spur of the narrow gauge Pacific Coast Railway. The Museum is the only building in San Luis Obispo County built with both of these local stones...When a search for a permanent home for the Museum was undertaken in 1953, the newly formed San Luis Obispo County Historical Society received assistance from the San Luis Obispo City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. An agreement was struck regarding the old library building, and in 1956, the San Luis Obispo County Historical Museum was opened to the public. .Information from: https://slochsorg.secure.myhosting.net..This is an infrared image which captures light that we cannot see and turns it into a visible image.
