  1. After almost two months of sharing his home with a bear, California resident is able to get the help needed to have the animal removed.

    The bear had been living under the home for going on two months. Causing damage, and of course sleepless nights for a homeowner in Altadena.

    A wildlife rescue group finally stepped in to help, and as of thursday the bear’s whereabouts remain unknown.

    Hopefully finding a more suitable spot for the winter. 🐻

  2. A Broadbill Swordfish was spotted cruising along La Jolla coastline.
    A very rare and exciting moment as these are usually found in deeper waters, not along the coast.

    Not to be mistaken for a marlin, as both are very similar, and known for their size and speed.
    The marlin has a flashy dorsal fin and tail along with a very pronounced stripe.

    The swordfish, however is not as flashy in color and the bill, a flatter shape more like an actual sword.

    Without a doubt La Jolla is the place to be to capture some cool scenes and sea life on camera or video!

  17. While snakes are surely terrifying to have around, the King snake is one that keep you safe from venomous snakes.

    The King snake labeled for it’s ability to take on, and even feed on other snakes including rattlesnakes and copperheads, to whose venom they are immune.

  18. The dragonfly is not only beautiful to look at, but a great addition to the garden as they feed on buzzy pests like flies and mosquitoes.

    An aquatic insect, the dragonfly lives near water, so having a small pond in your garden is a sure draw.
    Add some flowering plants to attract them, and keep them coming.

  28. This is the new addition to our outdoor terrarium. I love it!

    Outdoor terrariums are so much fun!
    But always make sure its kept up, so not to be a breeding ground for mosquitos.

    Mosquitos can transmit so many diseases that can be harmful to both you and your pet.  The very well known zika virus that spread to people, and of course heartworm that can be transmitted to your pet.
    Did you know there are over ten diseases that can be transmitted by mosquitos?

    Fish are always a good idea in a terrarium, to keep mosquito larvae out of your pond. Along with a good filter to keep water clean and moving.

    They are so easy to build, and when kept up so beautiful.  I don’t remember a Summer without dragonflies.
