FAUNA

AKA - Living creatures...from bugs to bears to birds and sea creatures.

FLORA

Plant life on Earth has been evolving over billions of years. Many of the plants we see today have survived many epochs in the Earths 4.5 billion years.

LANDSCAPES

Whether it is cruising down the highway gazing out at the rolling hills or sitting on the beach looking out to sea, there is always a vista for us to look upon. These are Landscapes and Seascapes!

LUNA

What can you say about the Moon. It regulates life on earth by influencing tides, reproductive cycles, and migration of animals. Without the moon I am not sure what life on Earth would be like. We watch it on its monthly journey growing and shrinking, from waxing to waning, and when it is full, we think of many stories and myths...from lovers to monsters. And the fascinating thing is, we only ever see that same side of the moon! What kid it be hiding?

SUNSETS

Every day ends with one, even if shrouded in clouds. But when you do see one, Mother Nature has a way of putting on some stunning light shows. Some days they are just an orange sky as the Sun drops below the horizon. But when there are clouds in the sky...chances are there is going to be a pretty good show!

SUNRISES

Just as every day ends with a Sunset, it also begins with a Sunrise. And like the Sunsets, they can either be low key or they can be amazing light shows with incredible colors and rays of the Sun reaching towards the heavens.
