Spotted a gorgeous little praying mantis! Such gorgeous insects, which you’d normally expect in a jungle, but this little dude is one of several desert dwelling species!

A little selection of gorgeous preying mantids in Nepal! They are the best insect! Elegant, bold, a little scary and slightly otherworldly!

Sedona in Arizona is a stunning place. 300 million year old sandstone outcrops , shaped by erosion creating stunning landscapes. A very incredible, very special time in a beautiful place with the most beautiful soul @SPECS_20.

Very neat to visit New York, exploring little streets, pizza joints, Central Park, and a jug full of Margarita!

Dammam, in Saudi Arabia, is a gorgeous city. Not what you would think, with crystal clear waters, and some amazing wading birds!

Your interpretations were wonderful! Everyone agreed that the rock resembles an #Anteater. We appreciate your contributions and look forward to seeing more of your creative imagination. #IfRocksCouldTalk
In #AlUla, the rocks hold more than the past, they cradle the essence of time itself, whispering of worlds that once were, oceans that breathed life, and the Earth’s deepest mysteries. What story do you see? #IfRocksCouldTalk #ICare

تصوراتكم كانت رائعة! الكل اتفق إن الصخرة فعلاً تشبه #آكل_النمل. شكراً على مشاركاتكم، ومتحمسين نشوف المزيد من إبداعاتكم قريباً! #العلا #الصخر_الشاهد #إرثنا_مسؤوليتنا
في #العلا، الصخور ليست مجرد شواهد صامتة على الماضي، بل هي حكايات نُقشت بحروف الزمن تروي عن عوالم مفقودة، ومحيطات اندثرت، وأسرار الأرض القديمة. شاركنا وش تشوف في هالصورة؟ #الصخر_الشاهد #إرثنا_مسؤوليتنا

Through shifting sands, #AlUla stands as a geological masterpiece. Igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic rocks tell Earth's transformation story. Layer by layer nature reveals an ancient saga carved in stone a tribute to the resilience of this timeless land. #IfRocksCouldTalk #ICare

A little ink drawn iguana. I wish I was better. I see little things that are not right! But I did love spending time drawing this for someone special.
Thank you for drawing this amazing piece for me ❤️🎄 You have incredible talent @JanFreedman!
