The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy

What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.

The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.

The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

Even more on Kaindy Lake…

Holy crap.

Sixteen-Year Old Provides a Lesson in Empathy for Every Sentient Life in Need… ♥

This is Scooter, the rat. He was affected by a brain tumor that caused front leg paralysis. He was adopted and rescued from a pet store (the store is now out of business) that was just going to throw him away by using him as food for another animal.

His savior, 16-year old Amanda Cech, of Saginow, MI not only took him in, but she made him this chair for easier mobility… and decided the best name for this little guy would be Scooter.

Scooter was able to live his life with mobility, not only from the chair, but from mobility gained by the design of his chair. His legs were pulled through the arm holes to rest on his armrest every day, and this acted as a form of physical therapy and allowed him to gain physical mobility in his front left leg for a short period of time before he passed away.

His human tried to get his story in the local paper to share this amazing tale of hope, love, and respect for animals of every size, but the story was shot down because, “no one wants to read about a rat in a wheelchair”.

—Well, we most certainly care, Amanda, and applaud you for your forward-thinking compassionate actions to make this rat’s life matter. Scooter most certainly knew he was deeply loved.

Much gratitude to all the Amanda’s of this world who extend their creative kindness to the misunderstood and under-served, and in doing so, teach us all a thing or two about what it means to truly care and empathize.

Friends, here locally in the valley, Any Rat Rescue is a wonderful pet rat rescue group that is led by dedicated director Jenna R Lillibridge, and assisted by caring foster parents and selfless volunteers. Please visit their fb pages & website to see what you can do to contribute.
Thank you! ~Admin ♥

Life On Other Planets

The science fiction magazine Fantastic Adventures shows us a glimpse of life on other planets from their 1939-1940 issues. While the alien designs are quite strange, they are meant to illustrate the different conditions on each planet, like gravity and atmosphere. All the planets besides Earth are included, even Pluto, plus Io, one of Jupiter’s moons.

Sea glass wire-wrapped into a circular ‘window’. I’d like to make more of these and assemble them into a lamp. Sort of a long-term project idea since this was very time-consuming.

This is so beautiful! That would be the best lamp.

facerotart:

I have always been meaning to draw out all my characters so I could work on facial variation and stuff, because I know I can get same-facey. I finally accidentally started this during my spare time in class!

This is not all of my characters though, just the humans and human-faced-animal-people. ACTUALLY NO. It isn’t even all of those. I left out quite a few minor or inactive characters, including parents and other family members. I wanted to include them but…I had to put a cap on this or I would never get it posted. SO YES. This is a majority of my humanoid characters then! So many of these ones aren’t even active but I liked their designs enough to throw them in. I might try to throw some color on these in between commissions.

I wanted to write more info about them other than just their names but I didn’t want this to get too cluttered. I tried to keep family members by each other and keep character groups together BUT WOW so many of these weirdos are just floating around in purgatory right now. I really need to get them all organized. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYONE feel free to ask!

I’d like to do something like this with body types too, but WHOA NELLY THAT IS A BEAST FOR ANOTHER DAY.

PS sorry how grungy some of these are, they traveled around with me for most of the semester.
