This is a skeleton of a Diplodocus. Some people think it's 150 million years old. I don't. Answers In Genesis has some compelling things to say about this. There are lots of websites about Creation Science. It's still cool to see this amazing beasts. They're HUGE!!
And here's my Noah's Ark collection...
I enjoyed being with my family at this interesting museum. We had a lot of fun being together that day.
When I was a kid, I remember going to the Natural History Museum in downtown L.A. and having a sack lunch out on the grass in front of the museum. I also remember loving the dioramas of the African savannah and the jungle scenes. But my favorites were the dinosaur bones. I don't know what it is about these creatures that fires the imagination, but they're so awesome.
I love giraffes. Maybe because I'm tall, but they seem so interesting. They're tall and graceful and gentle and powerful. And they drop their newborn 6 feet to the ground when they're born! The newborns can walk within hours of being born.
When I was in high school, I took a photography class and we went to the L.A. zoo for a photo shoot. One of my favorite pictures from that shoot was of an African Elephant's eye. I tried to recreate that shot here, but it's not the same. And my high school version was in black and white.
And Jonah...
One of the ways we choose what to do this day was that C really wanted to see the life size whale. It is quite a sight to see a life size model of a whale and then to think what it would be like to be in the water near one of these animals, let alone swallowed by one and deposited on the shore of a country that you don't want to go to, to tell the people there to repent, not wanting them to repent, seeing them repent, and then having to learn the lesson from God all over again. To think that being swallowed by one of these wouldn't make you just do whatever God said!
