Meet the Hercules Beetle

Posted on June 5, 2021 | 14 comments

Thanks goodness we don’t have these in Oklahoma!

The Hercules Beetle is found in the rainforests of Central and South America and is one of the largest flying insects in the world. For obvious reasons, they are also known as the rhinoceros beetle.

Male Hercules beetles can be up to 7 inches in length, including the horns.  They can carry up to 100 times their body mass. And apparently some people keep Hercules beetles as pets! Hard pass on that for me…

Woman pushes bear off fence to protect her doggies

Posted on June 2, 2021 | 9 comments

This is incredible. Yet not surprising.

“Momma Bears” of all species will do anything to protect their babies.

Watch as a woman in California pushes a brown bear (who has cubs with her) off her fence to save her pups:

More details about this incident from Fox News:

“In the video, a bear can be seen climbing over a fence into the house’s garden. Several cubs also appear to be with the larger animal, suggesting that it’s a mother bear. Multiple dogs appear and start barking at the bear. One of the larger dogs runs up to the bear and is struck in the face several times by the larger animal. 

According to a comment by Brenda, the dog was fine although it did suffer from some scratches.

Then, Hailey comes running into the frame and pushes the bear off the fence. While the bear quickly climbed back onto the fence, this gave Hailey enough time to gather the dogs and get them out of the area.

In a later video, Hailey explains that she lives in the mountains and since it is summer, bears aren’t an uncommon sight. According to Hailey, she suffered a sprained finger from the encounter.”

Great job Hailey!

Majestic Beauty: The Grand Canyon

Posted on May 30, 2021 | 5 comments

One place I’ve always wanted to visit is the Grand Canyon. I’ve only seen the Grand Canyon from an airplane and it is so stunning from that view! I can’t imagine what it is like to be on the ground and witness the true beauty of it all.

Located in Arizona, the Canyon was carved by the Colorado River and is 277 miles long and the carvings began millions of years ago. Here’s some fun facts about the Grand Canyon, from The National Park Foundation:

  • The Grand Canyon creates its own weather
  • There are no dinasour bones in the Canyon
  • There are only eight fish species native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River
  • There’s a town in the Grand Canyon called Supai Village, within the Havasupai Indian Reservation. It is not reachable by road and mail is still delivered by pack mule!

Supai Village

Here’s a bit of history about the Canyon and how it came to be a national park:

Here’s a video that explains the formation of the Canyon:

Have you ever visited the Grand Canyon? And if you have been, did you walk the Skywalk Bridge (see below)?

God’s amazing paintbrush: Woman captures stunning Texas storm photo

Posted on May 19, 2021 | 4 comments

This photo made the rounds on social media on Monday after a storm blew through Texas on Sunday. A gal by the name of Laura Rowe tweeted the following:

She’s now selling prints of this amazing picture. Here’s how she was in the right place at the right time to capture this image, via her Smugmug page:

“Hey y’all! I was out for a Sunday drive with my boyfriend. Small town, nothing else to do. We were over in Muleshoe checking out the salt lakes in the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refugee when we saw a small tornado touchdown close to Earth, Texas.

We looked at each other and knew we had to check out this crazy storm. We followed it for about three hours down county dirt roads until we set up in the spot where I took this shot that has now gone viral. 

I knew that God’s creation was beautiful to witness, but I had no idea that it would explode like this on social media. I was just a girl with an iPhone and nothing else to do on a Sunday afternoon, in the right place at the right time.

Thanks for checking me out, and I hope you enjoy your purchases! As a broke college kid, everything goes a long way!”

If you desire a print, order one here.
