Winter wonderland
Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov has devised a means to capture images of snowflakes in microscopic detail. The beauty of these fragile ice formations is breathtaking!
English artist Simon Beck creates large-scale murals of geometric patterns in snow by walking and leaving his footprints in the massive drifts of snowflakes. The result is a winter wonderland indeed!
All I can say after seeing these photos is LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

Happy Thanksgiving
There are so many ways to celebrate Turkey Day. You could create a beautiful foliage mobile with colorful leaves from your backyard.
Or you can draw a mutant hand turkey that demands respect.
But one thing you should NEVER do.
AND THAT IS WEAR A TURKEY ON YOUR HEAD!
This one looks like a weird pair of ears … and horns!
This one is so embarrassed it wants to run away!
This one looks like elf ears on a Santa hat … an elf on a rampage!
This one is so ashamed of being worn on someone’s head it is actually trying to cook itself!
This one makes the person wearing it look like they are trapped inside a raw bird … and also makes them look like a pig.
This is how ALL wearers of turkey hats end up … filled with remorse.
Only two kinds of Thanksgiving revelers can wear turkey hats with dignity. Show us how it’s done, dog and cat!

Fall friends
The Autumn Leaf butterfly is commonly found in India and Australia.
These Autumn Leaf animals can be found anywhere there’s someone with imagination, Elmer’s glue, and time to play!

Steampunk’ins
Do Jack O’Lanterns have to be pumpkins, or can they be made of metal? My favorites this Halloween season come from craft company Mel’s Make Believe, not a pumpkin patch. These wonderful Halloween sculptures are manufactured from mechanical bits and pieces in the style of steampunk, the type of science fiction where old-fashioned machinery takes the place of futuristic technology. Each of Mel’s steampunk Jack O’Lanterns is a one-of-a-kind original with its own spooky personality. They all bring the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve to life, and they’re guaranteed not to rot the next week! Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Manor
The perfect getaway this Halloween season is orange and ready for carving. Welcome to the house that Jack O’Lantern built. Stay up late by candlelight, never go to sleep from fright!

Goat crazy!
We’ve seen goats in trees. And that was pretty amazing! But there is one place goats love to be above all. And that is ABOVE ALL. Give them a cliff, and they will climb it.
But how do they stay on?
They hold on by the skin of their teeth, of course!

It’s Fall, y’all!
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
—Robert Louis Stevenson
