When I was a young child, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. Every couple of weeks my parents would take me to the public library, and I would always check out at least one dinosaur book. Here in southern Arizona, we have a creature that I always thought was the closest thing on earth to a modern-day dinosaur, the Horned Lizard. I was, and am, always delighted to find one. I took this photo of a Horned Lizard in southeast Arizona USA.
These interesting petroglyphs are in Dinosaur National Monument. Some have hypothesized that these are of aliens, but they look like humans wearing headdresses to me. Enjoy.
The striking badlands topography is seen everywhere at the Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil locales in the world.
I can't see this creature without thinking of dinosaurs. This photo was taken in the Merritt Is. NWR, near Titusville, FL
Dinosaurs, not always the prettiest beasts to wander the earth, but impressive and fascinating they were. And extinct.
I feel the same about these endlessly fascinating but taste-sensitive brutalist monsters.
This one, Blakeburg, like many, is under threat of being demolished. A true waste...

These Tasmanian Dolerite rocks are said by geologists to be 180 million years old. It was also a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This is not a fossil, but it can look very much like the close up of a dinosaur's eye.
After millions years evolution, these turkeys still preserve their survival character: alert and agile, reminding me the dinosaurs in the Jurassic park.

"Climate change caused by volcanic eruptions played a role in massive die-offs for the dinosaurs - long before a comet or asteroid impact sealed their fate"
Huge boulders tumble down a fork of the Wallace River like displaced dinosaur eggs.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
This is a closeup of a rhinoceros iguana found in the Dominican Republic. This particular iguana was found at the Scape Park's iguana enclosure in Punta Cana.

Who doesn't think dinosaurs are cool. Prehistorica is a great place to visit for photographers. You can temporarily rez things long enough to take a picture usually.
It's really for people changing into dinosaurs but I rezzed a campfire for a scene in my video. It's trickier if you're videoing because autoreturn is 5 min -- seems a little longer though because I was able to move my campfire across the doorway to a better spot and get my shot before it disappeared.

The Landing Point is in their crossroads: choose Experiences, Avatars or Hangout.
To get to the land of the Dinosaurs:
* head for the door that says "Experiences"
* hang a left to "Dawn Kingdoms: Time Travel Experience"
* go through the portal
You will land on a beach.
There's a dinosaur you can ride; just click on the Gallimimus or the Pteranodon.

I am experimenting with 2 different pictures/thumbnails for my youtube video. This is my 2nd thumbnail. I usually don't like that much "empty" space but it works well for text.
Or more accurately, rocks that look a lot like dinosaur bones. Although carnivorous dinosaurs thrived on the Australian mainland up to about 100 million years ago, there was a large rift valley (now covered by the sea) between it and Tasmania. This prevented the dinosaurs from migrating south. However, there are fossilised bones of a large reptilian crocodile-like creature (about 250 million years old) that have been found on the island. This goes back to a period before the dinosaurs as we know it evolved.

You can have all the money in the world,
but there is one thing you will never have...
... a dinosaur.

her feathers are not that pretty yet, she is a mess but with time she will grow up and become a beautiful bird :-)
Porth Nanven, is a secluded spot on the west coast of Cornwall’s south-western tip. It lies at the mouth of the Cot Valley, about a mile’s walk from the town of St Just, which is characterised by its granite miner’s cottages.
In the spring and early summer the hedgerows of the narrow lanes of the valley are abundant with masses of wildflowers, such as three-cornered leek, cow parsley and lady’s mantle. There are also old disused mine shafts to the left and right which are not safe for exploring, as many of them are not sealed off. Dogs need to be kept on a lead.
The defining feature of this beach is the covering of round granite boulders that give it the nickname Dinosaur Egg Beach. Some of these smooth boulders can be seen embedded in the soft cliffs surrounding the beach, dating back to a time when sea levels were much higher. However, there are no fossils to be found here. A thin strip of soft, golden sand is exposed for around an hour each side of low tide.
Looking out towards the sea, the rocky twin peaks of the Brison islets, named after the Cornish word for ‘prison’ – ‘brissen’ – as they were once used as basic jails. However, in Cornish, they are known as ‘Enys Vordardh’, or ‘breaker island’, as they have caused many historic shipwrecks.
Today, they are a busy nesting spot for gannets, gulls, storm petrels, puffins and red-billed choughs. The islets’ 25m-high peaks slowly turn frosty white with guano throughout the breeding season. They are also thought to resemble a man on his back, leading to the nickname, ‘Charles de Gaulle in his bath’.
It's amazing how these red sandstone formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago and now you can find the image of dinosaur at the same location.
I recently got a dinosaur and had to put it to some use!
A nest was one of my earliest ideas, since I wanted to include the baby dinos too. The sand was initially built for Relaxing Bedrock Style but it didn't work as planned. So it made the base for this MOC instead!

I had to laugh when I saw these Great Egret chicks at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida. Besides being cute as chicks I actually thought for a minute that I was watching a Muppet Movie of some sort. I mean, this is how they look in real life? Well, yes, I think so. I didn't see anyone below the nest with wires to control their movement... I've never seen Great Egret chicks, so this was quite special!
I was mesmerized for a while watching these chicks interact with each other and their parent, whose legs are visible in the background.

The Uintah Mountains extend from north-eastern Utah into Colorado. On the left side of the image one can see the visitor center of Dinosaur National Monument, one of the worlds finest paleontological sites. Hundreds of fairly complete fossils of various Dinosaurs have been found at the Dinosaur Quarry, located in the hills right behind the visitor center. The image can be downlaoded in high resolution (10000 pixels horizontally).
