“Grandfather’s Barn in the Appalachians”... I knew it was still there, and even though it had seen its better days, my heart was filled with joy when I saw the old barn still standing in the hollow. Oh, the memories it brought back from growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee!

TitleBaby Siku with Mom and Dad, White Rhinoceroses ArtistMichele GandeeMediumPhotograph - Color Photography - Canon 5d Mark IiDescriptionGetting to see Siku, a Baby White Rhinoceros play with his Mom & Dad was the highlight of my week in Montpellier, France. This place is more like an animal sanctuary and reserve, than a zoo. Miles of hiking trails, camp grounds and the animals each have their own areas far from the next. Reallly a beautiful Wildlife Park. This baby was born recently and we got to meet the mother Nola, before she gave birth, so this was our little blessing to go back and say hello to baby Siku.

Baby Siku was born on July 20th, 2024 at

By the way, the word rhinoceros comes from the Ancient Greek "rhinos", nose and "keras", horn.

There are five species of rhinos in the world today: two in Africa, one in India, one in Java and one in Sumatra.
Sadly, they are all endangered by poaching for their horns and habitat loss.

Projects are in place to preserve their habitats, protect them from poaching and engage local populations in conservation.
These are missions that the Save the Rhino International foundation is leading!
Montpellier Zoo is helping to fund rangers' equipment on South Africa's Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Reserve, which is home to one of the largest populations of white rhinos.

Rainbow Ammonite Fossil
By Michele Gandee

Wall Art

MediumDigital Art - Digital Mixed ArtsDescriptionAmmonites were shelled cephalopods that died out about 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all around the world, sometimes in very large concentrations.

Before we understood what they were, one of the explanations for ammonites was that they were coiled-up snakes that had been turned to stone, earning them the nickname 'snakestones'. But ammonites weren't reptiles: they were ocean-dwelling molluscs, specifically cephalopods.

Ammonite shells are a naturally occurring example of the Fibonacci sequence. If you draw a quarter circle in each Fibonacci square, they connect to form an ever increasing spiral.

It's no surprise that ammonites, with their spiral shape, are symbols of change and positive motion. The spiral draws in negative energy, filtering it through the chambers and releasing fresh, positive energy. For this reason I have been known to wear an ammonite as an amulet, but currently my chain is in need of repair.
