Purple Grasshopper | Green Wings Award
This is new…I mean, I’ve seen green grasshoppers before, but never a purple one. While its bright color definitely makes it stand out, I can’t imagine that’s a good thing when trying to hide from potential predators. If you’re going to hop among the blades of grass or climb along the green leaves of local […]
Lion Iceberg | Green Wings Award
Is it a lion? Is it an iceberg? Well, in this case, it’s both. Although most of us will never get to see an iceberg up close, much less one that has morphed into a majestic animal (albeit one far from its natural habitat), this is definitely a sight to see. For its beauty, and […]
Nature Taking Over | Green Wings Award
It just goes to show you…you leave anything outdoors for too long, nature will take it over. Looks like that is what’s happening to what once was someone’s vehicle. Don’t know how long it’s been there, but we’re pretty sure you won’t even be able to see it soon. Image by KidFromDudley | Source
Lizard Camp Out | Green Wings Award
This cute, little birdhouse may have been originally intended for the birds, but it looks like a neighborhood lizard has other plans. Maybe he’s simply looking for a new place to live or perhaps he’s planning a trip. The birdhouse does look like a camper….so he could be on a camp out. Whatever his intentions […]
Everyone Loves a Tree | Green Wings Award
While isn’t not uncommon to see birds, or even squirrels, hanging out in trees, finding a goat in a tree is a rare sight in most places around the world. Not in Morocco, apparently. Check out these goats! These goats climb trees instead of mountains. Just goes to show you…everyone loves a tree! For their […]
Peaking Through the Snowy Sky | Green Wings Award
Peaking up through this snowy sky towards the blue sky above may seem a little ominous, but it’s pretty cool too. Apparently this is what it looks like when the snow covered net roof in the aviary at the Munich Zoo begins to thaw. Either that or Katniss Everdeen has just broken through the dome […]
Face in an Orchid | Green Wings Award
Oh Mother Nature, you never cease to amaze us! This image of a face found in a beautiful orchid not only earns our Green Wings Award, but is a reminder of why we should be sure to take the time and really look around when we’re outside. Look down at the flowers, look up at […]
Tree Hugging on a Whole New Level | Green Wings Award
These trees have earned Biofriendly Planet Magazine’s Green Wings Award for taking tree hugging to a whole new level. If you thought you loved nature and were a treehugger yourself, this tree hugging another tree just might have you beat.
Saddleback Caterpillar | Green Wings Award
Nature can get quite creative at times. I mean, take a look at this Saddleback Caterpillar resting on a fence post. It looks like it’s wearing a colorful, little saddle on it’s back or, at the very least, wearing a sweater knit by grandma. It’s definitely an eye catcher. I wouldn’t recommend picking it up […]
