Found this little scorpion on the floor where I had been walking back and forth from the kitchen. It was about an inch with its body alone. I pinched the tail with a thick paper towel as you can see. My adrenaline is still pumping, but I hated to kill it by flushing it down the toilet. >_< I love scorpions about as much as reptiles, maybe a little less (I love any sort of reptile, not eight-legged creatures as much.). But everyone needs to keep a lookout. It isn’t just ticks and snakes you need to be wary of. Thanks to my brother for letting me borrow his camera without his permission again. :)

This is about anything that fascinates me, makes me laugh, and what-not. Enjoy.

I was raised on Brian Froud’s Faeries. It has fallen apart, but I still have it! :)
Lesson of the week: Do your very best to live as children do at least once per day; creatively, open minded, curious, imaginative, free, unaware, naive, carefree, without judgments, without reservations, without inhibitions, live loudly.
And most of all, believe in fairy tales!
A Few Mother Goddesses
Bhumi— The Hindu personification of Mother Earth and one of the divine wives of Vishnu (the other being Lakshmi)
Amaterasu— The sun goddess and mother Japan’s first Emperor.
Isis— Goddess of magic and nature, Isis is the personification of the Egyptian throne, on whom all Pharaohs sit.
Ernmas— One of the Tuatha de Danaan, the legendary settlers of Ireland. Mother to two important triads: the sovereign goddesses Banba, Fodla, and Eriu and the war goddesses Morrigan, Badb, Macha
Demeter—The Greek Goddess of Fertility and the Seasons. Her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped by Hades, God of the Underworld/Dead, and tricked to eat a pomegranate. Demeter mourned her disappearance. It caused a never-ending winter to occur, so Zeus, King of the Greek gods, decided that Persephone would visit her mother for so many months, but because she ate the food of the underworld, she would have to return to Hades for the rest of the time, thus causing Demeter to change the seasons with her moods.
I would love to have either one
