This is a picture of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, which is part of UC San Diego. The institution operates the Shore Stations Program, which positions stations along the coast of California that provide access to current an historical records of sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS).

This is a link to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, my favorite national park. Although I've had the chance to go to Yellowstone, and it is amazing, this park has sentimental value for me because I have gone to the mountains up there with my family every year since I was a baby.
This is a picture from the Meteora region in Greece, an area where Eastern Orthodox monks built monasteries into natural sandstone formations as early as the 11th century. Studies suggest that the pinnacles formed around 60 million years ago and were shaped into their current formation by wear and tear from the weather.
This is a picture of an ocelot. The ocelot resembles a leopard, but is roughly the size of a large house cat, and I find it adorable. It has two white spots on the back of its ears that are called "ocelli." It is nocturnal and very territorial; it will fight to the death over territory so, as cute as it is, it wouldn't make a great house pet.
