American Bald Eagle Fishing coloring page

 Happy Independence Day to my fellow citizens of the USA!

Today, in honor of Independence Day, I drew an

American Bald Eagle.  

American  Bald Eagle Fishing

The American Bald Eagle, or just Bald Eagle, is a large raptor or bird of prey. They have a wingspan of up to 7.5 feet.  They primarily eat fish, so they are called fish eagles or fish raptors.  In Alaska, where I used to live, the Bald Eagles feed on fish, especially the salmon.  So, this eagle is about to seize a salmon.  The salmon doesn't know what is coming.  Bald Eagles can carry a fish weighing over four pounds.  Sometimes another eagle or eagles will try to steal the fish in midair... that another eagle has caught. 

Some of my best memories of the Fourth of July come from playing in the BYU Alumni Band.  The director, Mike, and I would get up terribly early and decorate the float.  Then the band would arrive. And we'd drive to the parade and be IN the parade. I especially loved playing the Sousa Marches.  I should mention that our kids and spouses often helped with the float decoration, and my kids were also in the band for many years.  So, I dedicate this Eagle drawing to Mike, who loves American Bald Eagles.  I drew this for you, Mike!

NOTE: This drawing will be posted in the printable pages... after I watch the fireworks outside. So, click on the button labeled Animals and scroll down.  New drawings are at the bottom of the list.  I will also post this under the Bird list and the Holidays list.  

Havyn the Orca Mermaid coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of an Orca Mermaid.

Havyn the Orca Mermaid

Nearly all Mermaids and Mermen have a kinship with a particular form of ocean life. This is Havyn who is an Orca Mermaid.  She cares for killer whale calves when the parents are out hunting. She does this when the orca calf is very young and only 7-9 feet long.  As the orca calf grows, he or she will accompany their parents to learn the science of the hunt. 

Orcas are disliked by some people because they are killers.  Hence, their other name of killer whale. Did you know that each pod of orcas has their own language and their own culture?  And some pods focus only on eating fish.  Some focus on eating marine mammals like seals.  Some killer whales actually kill and eat the great whales, like the baleen whales. By the way, the term "killer whale" evolved from the original term "whale killer."

Havyn is a strikingly beautiful Mermaid.  She has long blonde hair and a kind nature.  Mermaids and Mermen have their own forms of magic that they use to defend the orca juveniles from danger. The fact is that orca pods will sometimes attack and kill the juveniles of other pods. So, Havyn is on her guard constantly when the mother and her pod have left their offspring with them.  That being said, Havyn will also spend time playing with and teaching the calf. She is kind to the calf, and this develops a lifetime bond.  Since Merpeople live a long time, Havyn is caring for a calf that is the granddaughter and the daughter of a calf she cared for years before.  By the way, if you saw Havyn, you would think she was 20 years old.  In fact, she is one of those mermaids who choose to sometimes, between orca calves - live and serve animals in the mortal world. 

I think it is appropriate here to wax philosophical:  The beauty we see is a small fraction of a person's or Mermaid's true beauty.  For example, Havyn is very, very kind.  This kind nature enhances her beauty a great deal.  Interestingly enough, only another good and kind person can see this enhanced beauty.  Evil and selfish people never get to appreciate true beauty because they only look at the outside beauty. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button that says "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."  I will also post it on the "Animals" list of drawings.  If you are accessing this site in early to late July 2025, then this drawing will be at or near the bottom of the lists.  Have fun coloring! And later on, in a few days, I will be drawing Havyn from another viewpoint.  I want to face the challenge of drawing her facing the artist so I can share that view of her kind and pretty face with you.

 Aquí encontrará más de 3000 páginas para colorear gratuitas para imprimir.

Estos dibujos los hice yo, Robin Lyman.

Soy una maestra jubilada que enseñó tanto en la Escuela Primaria como en la secundaria.

y también Ciencia en Secundaria.

El nuevo dibujo de hoy es de un Hada dando un paseo en una tortuga de Galápagos.

Fairy Riding on Galapagos Tortoise

Hada Montando Sobre Tortuga Joven De Galápagos

En primer lugar, se trata de una tortuga joven o juvenil de Galápagos. Es un comedor de cactus. Un hada local va a montar a esta cría, pero no es una tortuga recién nacida. Hay varias especies de tortugas de Galápagos. Algunos tienen un cuello particularmente largo que evolucionó para que se estiraran mucho para alcanzar la comida. Este es uno de esos.

Esta Hada, llamada Adelia, también es un Hada Mariposa. Puede ver que las alas de Hada y mariposa son similar.

El Hada es, por supuesto, un Hada de Galápagos. Le encantan las tortugas. Ella tiene una vida increíblemente larga, por lo que este Hada vivirá para ver envejecer a esta tortuga. Las tortugas de Galápagos pueden vivir hasta 120 años. Dado que las Islas Galápagos son parte de Ecuador, esta Hada domina el idioma principal de las Hadas, el latín, pero también domina el español. Entonces, también publicaré esto en español.

Fairy Riding on Young Galapagos Tortoise coloring page

 Here you will find over 3000 free-to-print coloring pages.

These drawings were done by me, Robin Lyman. 

I am a retired teacher who taught both Elementary School 

and also Science in Junior High.

Today's new drawing is of a Fairy taking a ride on a Galapagos Tortoise.

Fairy Riding On Young Galapagos Tortoise

First of all, this is a young or juvenile Galapagos Tortoise.  It is a cactus eater.  A local Fairy is going on a ride on this baby, but not quite a newly hatched tortoise. 

There are several species of Galapagos tortoises.  Some have a particularly long neck that evolved for them to stretch high to reach food.  This is one of those.  

This Fairy, named Adelia, is also a Butterfly Fairy.  The wings are similar on the Fairy and the butterfly.

The Fairy is, of course, a Galapagos Fairy.  She loves tortoises.  She has an incredibly long lifespan, so this Fairy will live to see this tortoise grow old.  Galapagos tortoises can live to up to 120 years.  Since the Galapagos Islands are part of Ecuador, this Fairy is fluent in the main Fairy language of Latin, but she is also fluent in Spanish.  So, I will be posting this in Spanish as well.

Majungasaurus the Unicorn Theropod

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

This site has over 3000 coloring page drawings that I have drawn and posted for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of a medium-sized Theropod called Majungasaurus.

Majungasaurus the Unicorn Theropod

Majungasaurus could be called a Unicorn Theropod Dinosaur because it was a Theropod or carnivorous dinosaur.  AND it DID have a horn on its snout.  It weighed around 2200 lbs or 1000 kg. It was 23 feet or 7 meters long.  It had a short snout and was a resident of Madagascar.  It lived from 70 million years ago to around 66 MYA and so it lived to see the end of the dinosaur age.  (It died off because of the meteorite that hit what is now Yucatan, Mexico.  

The horn is thought to have been for sexual display, not fighting.  The short snout is indicative of Albisaurids like Majungasaurus.  Majungasaurus was more closely related to Albisaurids from India rather than those found in South America.  Albisaurids are Theropods from the Southern Hemisphere. 

The Majungasaurus is known to be a cannibal.  It also fed on larger than itself Sauropods like Rapetosaurus.  Rapetosaurus was a long-necked Titanosaur Sauropod, but it did not get as big as its cousins like Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan.  This is probably because of some dwarfism due to island habitats having fewer resources than mainland environments.  In fact, other Albisaurids from South America, like Mapusaurus, were up to 40 feet or over 12 meters long and up to almost 7 tons or around 6 metric tonnes in weight.  So, if Majungasaurus had lived on the mainland, it may have been much larger.

Garredorn and Emillian Marry coloring page

 Today we are celebrating a family wedding of two beautiful people.

So today's new drawing is of that couple.

Garredorn and Emillian Marry

Garredorn is a native of Gondor; however, he became a Dunedain Ranger.  He has some Elven ancestors as well, so he is very friendly with the Elves.  This is how he met Emillian.  She is an Elven Princess from the Woods of Lorien.  They fell in love and very recently got married.  

This is a wedding portrait, so the background is limited. But feel free to draw some in if you choose.  Notice the Elven symbols on Garredorn's breastplate.  These letters stand for Garrendorn and Emillian.

NOTE:  To print this coloring page, just go to the Fantasy, Myths, and Circus button.  Then scroll down to the bottom of the list to see this new drawing.  Have fun coloring this lovely young couple.  

The Greek God Apollo

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

For regulars, sorry it's been a few days since I posted.  I had surgery.

Thanks for your prayers!  I am not great, but doing OK, more or less.

Today, I am posting a non-traditional drawing of the Greek God Apollo.

This drawing was inspired by one of my kind and skilled caregivers at the hospital.

Apollo with Sword and Shield

Apollo is the name of a High Greek God.  He was or is considered the God of several things, including Archery. He is often depicted with a bow.  But he is sometimes depicted with a sword called the Apollian Blade.  Apollo is also considered the God of the Sun, God of Poetry, God of Healing, God of Art, God of Prophecy.  He is also the God of Music and is frequently depicted with a harp. Because this is a kind of portrait, I limited the backgroud in the drawing.

NOTE:  This drawing is found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus." Then, if you are accessing this in late June or during July 2025, this drawing will be at or near the bottom of the list of titles.  Have fun coloring Apollo!
