So I saw a picture of the Venezuelan Poodle Moth the other day and said ‘That’s cool!’ Wouldn’t you love to see one of these things sitting on your windowsill. I almost want to teach it to fetch. Here’s a few more things that’ll make you say ‘That’s cool!’
This Pepto-Bismol pink body of water is Senegal’s Lake
Retba, or as the French call it, Lac Rose. Experts say the lake gives off its pink hue due to cyanobacteria, a harmless halophilic bacteria found in the water. Lake Retba has a high salt content, much like that of the Dead Sea, allowing people to float effortlessly in the massive pink water. I need to go here!
Petoskey stones are a rock and a fossil composed of fossilized coral, mainly found in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I need one!
Making something gorgeous out of rusted old tools. These old wheelbarrows are works of art! I can’t imagine the artist looking at these beforehand and thinking, “I can create something beautiful.” and yet he did. Here’s a link to the article with more fabulous pics.
This gorgeous moon pic is by Laurent Laveder. He’s got a book out featuring photos of people capturing and playing with the moon. Such creativity! Here’s a link to more awesome pictures that’ll make you say “That’s cool!”
And now to end with a giggle. This video features twin baby girls dancing to their daddy’s guitar music. That first look they give each other, “This is going to rock!” is priceless.
Have a cool day,
Michele
CUTTTTTE!!
What could be better then cute babies and the wonders of nature. The moth could easily inspire a whole new generation of Mothra films! And I want some of those rocks.
WHATAGREATBLOG!!!:) I want one of those Petoskey stones to!!! I wouldn’t want that moth near my sweaters. He looks like he could do some serious damage! But those twins. Oh, TOO CUTE!:) Thanks Michele! xo
Michele – where do you find this stuff? I love it! especially the babies. And I spent way too much time on the website looking at all the iron filigree art work. too cool. thanks!
Cindy, I actually subscribe to a ‘cool’ blog that I page through every day just for my daily smile or chance to say ‘that’s cool’. Also, Pinterest has a lot of cool stuff that I collect. Do have an iPad? The Flipboard app is an awesome way to compile your blog crawl in a magazine format that you can flip through quickly and stop at the articles that interest you.
I can’t stop watching those babies!
Interesting and unsual things.. but I think the baby twins are the cutest… They remind me of my twin neice and nephew at that age.. I have some cute pictures of them in the high chairs side by side.. Thanks for bringing back such fond memories for me..
What a fun blog!! I love the way the babies look at each other with instant delight, then rock on. And what fascinating, unusual things otherwise. Love that moth!!
Oh the baby girls dancing are so cute. My daughter (a twin) posted that on my wall this week. I love that first look of utter delight!
I find the moth a little creepy. But the babies are so cute. I can lose half a day on Pinterest.
Now I want one of those moths for a pet – its so cool looking! And of course how could anyone resist such adorable dancing babies! Fun post!
