Beautiful Nature in my Yard from Caterpillars to Butterflies

Caterpillars come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty can often be deceiving since their hairs often contain venom which can be poisonous to humans and predators. Toxic caterpillars can be found in many places including backyard gardens, parks, and fields.

Beauty in Bicycles

Bicycles can be a lot of things to a lot of people. A mode of transportation, a way to build community, a way to keep in shape, a sport, or an extension of their personal style. But if your bike is an extension of your personal style and your style tends towards the more glamorous side of the closet, not just any old city bike will do.

Beauty comes in many forms. Engineering and craftsmanship can be beautiful. So can user-friendliness, performance, and even social significance — and, of course, forms and colors can be beautiful too.

What The Tour De France Cyclists Eat

The 104th edition of this Grand Tour de France started on July 1 and will continue until July 23. Each cyclist burns between 5000-7000 calories per day/per stage, due to the tremendous physical effort and output, sprinting, climbing mountains, all that combined makes them burn thousands of calories which they need to replenish with food like this, every day.

Creamy Spaghetti with lots of meat, cheese, and chunky veggies.

So, if you want to eat like this every day, grab your bike and climb the mountains at top speed!

April Hello A Beautiful Month

In April, flowers start to sprout. Snow melts and the grass starts to show. Spring is here! It is beginning to get warmer. Daylight is longer.
It is so wonderful to see the warm sun shining in the sky, to hear the birds
chirping as they fly to the humming bird feeders and my orangy and purple flowers.

The bay is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vietnam and features thousands of islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars.
