“Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination."
All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten by Robert Fulgram

I remember reading this book when I was much younger and this particular story stuck with me.  Makes me smile every time.  And while these aren't Crayola crayons, they areCra... more »

Monarch Caterpillars are foul-tasting and poisonous to predators due to the presence of cardenolide aglycones in their bodies, which the caterpillars ingest as they feed on milkweed.

These Monarch Caterpillars are from my Butterflies collection. Nikon D5100, Nikkor 55-300mm, ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/1250. Enjoy my entire collection online at www.rollosphotos.com.

Ooohhh Noooo!!!

As many of you know, I photograph mostly bears…… Bears of any and all kinds…. Plus as many of you that know me …. know that sometimes I can get really, really too close to my subjects, (mostly not of my doings)…… Well this was one of those times that it was not of my doings. Before the wife and I took off to Alaska, I had bought a scimmer, ( a devise that you can put your camera and lens on to lay down on the ground and photograph). As we were driving up though British Columbia, north of Jasper, I seen a black bear with cubs some 50 yards away. I decided to try out my new scimmer to see if I could get that low angle profile look……. As I was clicking away at the sow and cubs, I heard a noise to my right and there he was….. he didn't move and I didn't move for about what seemed like 5 minutes or so, (I'm sure it was shorter than that)….. he didn'tlook like I was bot... more »

Also here it shows again the same behavior as with us humans ... love and care for their offspring, Lions mama and babies in the Masai Mara.

Thanks to my friends in the Masai Mara, without which these photos would never have been possible, which were only possible with a special permit.

No larger than a rugby ball, its brittle clay cracked and broken in parts, the Cyrus cylinder may seem unimpressive at first glance. But in 1879 on an expedition to Iraq, sponsored by the British Museum, it was unearthed by diggers and became one of the museum's most prized artefacts. What’s all the fuss about, why is the Cyrus cylinder important? http://econ.st/10y8ixC

Oops..Almost missed him!!

Camouflage ….. If it hadn't been for this coyote sitting up …. I would not have seen him, even laying on this rock. Seems that it doesn't matter what time of year it is, other than winter, coyotes blend in pretty good ….. not to mention ….. they make some pretty good images most of the time too.

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back? ~W. Clement Stone

Gold leaf detail of the viburnum in spring. Viburnums are one of the best shrubs for use in landscape planting. Sizes vary from 2 to 30 feet with excellent foliage, striking and fragrant flowers, and showy fruit which attracts a wide variety of wildlife.
