Life is short - begin every day with a smile!
Our world truly is an amazing place. Natural phenomena that can awe, terrify and inspire occur somewhere on our planet each and every day.
One phenomenon that can trigger all those feelings at once is lightning.
Virtually everyone has experienced the power and beauty of a lightning strike while waiting out a passing thunderstorm, but did you know volcanoes can produce their own lightning strikes even on a clear and sunny day?
You’re probably aware that some animals are albino which makes them solid white in color.
But did you know there’s an opposite of the albino trait that makes the animals that have it (more or less) solid black?

As you well know, we earthlings inhabit a single planet that orbits a single star.

Like their Scandinavian neighbors, the people of Sweden inhabit one of the most beautiful, and most challenging regions on our vast planet.
Short, bright summers and long, dark winters make Swedish life interesting for sure.
