Something quite special dwells beneath the surface of New Zealand and these images prove that the country is just as beautiful below ground as it is above! The Waitomo area is famous for it’s limestone caves and within these caves are one of the most magical insects in the world, the glowworm. Glowworms emit a phosphorescent glow that light up the cave and create a surreal environment. Over the past year I have been back and forth to Waitomo’s Ruakuri Cave to master the art of photographing these magnificent little creatures - it’s been quite the experience! When the headlamps are out and all you can see are the glowworms, you can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped into James Cameron’s Avatar Pandora, it’s just unreal! Photographing glowworms is very similar to shooting the night sky, however the exposure time can be much longer.
Having studied mainstream Archaeology, I came to the conclusion long ago that the stifling requirements of this discipline were not providing an overall picture; that one really needs to be part of a multidisciplinary team. I have been fortunate enough to travel globally in my quest for connective information that backs up my theories of lost civilizations. By Guest Writer Anne Tittinsor

I have always been annoyed by Tadao Ando's self seriousness which always pushes him to develop only an architecture of solemnity, reserved to the gods rather than the humans. HOWEVER…
We have been shaken to our core by the tragic and heartbreaking acts of racism and injustice against Black Americans – these acts have no place in our society. At BetterUp, our mission is rooted in the belief that diversity, inclusion, and belonging are absolutely essential to creating the workplaces to which we aspire.
New Year’s Eve is supposed to be about new beginnings. A blank slate. A fresh start that helps us reprioritize and focus on living a truly good, healthy, and happy life. However, fate—if it exists—seems to have a twisted sense of humor. And bad luck doesn’t care much about what day it is.

Over the past week I have been knee deep in Seussville. Buggie's school is having a family reading night tonight for read across America. Which today happens to be Dr. Seuss's birthday and the kindergarten classes each picked a Dr. Seuss book to decorate with. So once I heard we got "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" I met up with my homie Brie, we have been friends since our babes were 3 months old and the kids have been in class together ever since they started school at 3, so working on a project together is just an excuse to hang. Neither one of us had paper mached since, I do not know 10 maybe, so we had no clue if what we were about to do was going to work. After getting some water balloons, then each of us almost passing out from trying to blow they little suckers up, we got a bike pump and got all 18 blown in no time. Then paper mached half the balloons. Then we waited, a full 24 hrs to see if our little experiment would work... And sure enough, it did. Then I took some white spray paint and gave them a good coating... Once they were dried, I got to painting them. Using the colors from the cover art, I made different stripes and color combos... Now during this process I have learned it is not Seussie until you bust out the black outlining... So with a trace of all the strips and a little shadowing, they were coming together. For the baskets, I took white card stock, free handed a basket the size we needed. Then cut and traced that little guy 17 more times. And then painted them... And as I stated about it was not Seussified until that black outline came into play... Once All the baskets were dried, each kiddie got a basket. {PS I only missed spelled one of the kids names, haha.} I picked up some white paper from Buggie's school and brought it home to get to work on the background. Which I free handed and painted... It was not the exact cover, but there was no doubt what book it was... Then Brie and I met up at school and got to hanging. Brie has what I call curiously strong man arms, so she armed the stapler. I have to say after it was all up, it was exactly how I had envisioned it, Seusserific. And not going to lie, having teachers, staff, and other moms walk by and pay compliments was pretty good feeling! These kids are a great group and I was proud to help them represent their class. And they will all go places, up up up and away.... And thanks to this project I now have added Seussie, Seussified, and Seusserific to my vocabulary. Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, hope I did you right! POST UPDATE: Number one question on this post, "what did you use to hang the balloons?" A hot glue gun, just around the edges and then held it up til it dried. HAPPY MAKING!

I guess if you dropped your brother off the rock, you'd feel bad about it for some time afterwards. This photo probably comes from Lookout Mountain, which seems to have been the place where people did things like this, at least in the East. The price on the back says 75 cents.
I found something new that I decided to add to my travel bucket list. Have you heard of it or ever been?
