Not Just For Them... But, For Us Too...

Unbelievable... She's like a pup. So, so beautiful...

One more reason to recycle that plastic water bottle. So, it doesn't end up in her Living Room.

Or better yet, just get some from the tap.

Alaskan Otter Couple"One of the funniest moments was when I discovered two otters that looked like a couple," says Your Shot member Roman Golubenko. "They were taking care of each other like a loving couple, and they were turning to me as if to get captured for a family portrait." (source of photo)

This just makes me MELT. DO YOU HEAR ME??? MELT, I SAY!!!

I'm butta... I'm like the squaw on the cova of Land O'Lakes.

NATURE. It's still the Best Show on Earth.

what we think about expands and wears pathways in our hearts and minds

So, why not let weeds choke the well-worn trails of guilt and regret... of envy and greed... of fear and need. Liberation lies in love.

I'm trying anyway... And when I falter (which is often), I remind myself, progress, not perfection. And with "exercise", it DOES get easier...

Some Sunday Morning Worship (Or, "Bish? See this hand right here? Well, it's gonna slap Sunday clean out of you in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...")

A young, female Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) at the Omaha Zoo. Diana Monkey, Omaha Zoo. by Joel Sartore

Sartore photographed this female Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) at the Omaha Zoo as part of his Photo Ark project, through which he is documenting thousands of rare species.

"Half of all the species on Earth could be headed irreversibly toward extinction by 2100. Not if I can help it," Sartore says. "That's the idea behind the Photo Ark: getting the public to look these creatures in the eye, then care enough to save them while there's still time."

Learn more about the Photo Ark and see more pictures from the project.
