Cracking Open a Geode - Some New Items for the Collection
I have had the pleasure of opening two new geodes recently. They may not be anything rare, but they are still spectacular. I've always had a soft spot for crystals. It's just so interesting how something

Steemitphotochallenge - Portraits of Butter
Butter loves having his picture taken. Well, tolerates is a better word, but he still looks great in them. This one might not be the clearest, but it is still one of my favorites.

Close up with a Hibiscus - Pictures of a Flower
Hibiscus have such great flowers. Not only are they large, but they have beauty. This provided with a few moments to get some images. It was pretty busy where I was at though, and so I had to be quick.

A View into a Tiny World - Close Up Videos of Wild Ant Colonies

Fireworks in the Summer - 4th of July
It has kind of become a reoccurring thing for my family to do fireworks for the 4th of July. We all go to my aunt and uncles house, buy whatever we can afford, and eat some of the food that everyone brought.

Jellyfish in Color - A Soothing Experience
They have no eyes, no visible mouth, nothing that we would pick out as being animal like, at least not when compared to something like a dog or cat. Just clear, pulsating disk in water. There is something

Eels and Sharks - One of the largest tanks I have seen
I am not exaggerating when I say that this tank was huge. It contained anything from large sting rays to a six foot eel. It also was not a standard shape. I cannot help but imagine the work put into shaping
