Book - Chapter 3 - Cecropia Caterpillar and Moth

4/9/2019

Had to post this incredible caterpillar!

Wow! If you doubted God exists ...
see the beauty,
notice the details,
look at the design,
and there's symmetry too!

And this is but one insect in a vast variety of amazing insects.

Then add to this the complexity of humans, animals, birds, amphibians, aquatics, reptiles, food, herbs, spices, flowers, plants, trees, elements, fossils, rocks, and the solar system. Kinda makes you marvel, huh?

Book, Chapter 3 - Bird, Bugs - African Skimmer Bird

9/14/2018

Wow! This was such a neat bird, I had to post it.

The African Skimmer has a bill structure that is one of a kind. The lower bill is much longer than the upper bill, and flattened sideways like scissor blades.

African skimmers fly in lines over calm waters, and dip their lower bills in the water to feed. When the bill touches a fish, the skimmer snaps its mouth shut. They feed mostly at dawn and dusk and have good night vision.

[Just noticed the spacing issue in Flamingo text, so fixed that!]

Book - Birds, Bugs Chapter 3 - Tropical Birds

6/1/2018

You've probably noticed that I shortened my website: jacqueb.com (jackeebee) SAME WEBSITE, EASIER TO SPELL!

The reason this page spread is delayed is that I was recovering from a cardiac ablation. At any rate, I'm back at it now!

There are so many amazing birds, and sometimes I can't take it all in because they are so stunning and beautiful and yet one more example of the creative handiwork of God!

Water Birds are coming next: Crowned Crane, Curlew, Egret, Flamingo, Gallinule, Grebe, Heron, Ibis, Loon, Spoonbill, Stork, Swan. (I love the call of the loon when we're camping up north!)

See ya in two! (about 2 weeks, that is)
