Thumbnail image for Terraform Earth by Mark Fraser June 8, 2011

“Terra-forming” – that’s a theory about taking a world like mars and making it Earth-like.

Thumbnail image for They live right beside us …. Really! by Mark Fraser March 12, 2011

I have always been amazed by nature, I mean the closer you look the more you see! Ironically, so few of us in our busy lives actually take the time to see what’s out there.  It’s like anything I suppose, when you get to know something you are far more likely to understand it, even [...]

The Monarch Caterpillars are beautiful creatures. We often speak of the famous butterfly they become, but rarely take the time to admire the brightly colored caterpillar. They have simply “amazing” colors and can often be seen working there way around Milkweed plants. They are about 2-3/4 inches in length. They are toxic so birds will [...]
