Norwegian Forest Fairies

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

We are on vacation in Norway & celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary. Today we went on a hike in the woods near Bergen, Norway, & we saw two Forest Fairies, so I drew them. My wonderful wife of Norwegian descent & I are some of the few mortals who frequently can see Fairies. 

Tiril & Kaja the Norwegian Forest Fairies

Unfortunately, I can’t post this drawing in printable form until we return home. But I want to say that the people (& Fairies) of Norway are very kind. They are also beautiful, happy people. Of course, their sunny disposition and especially their kindness enhance their beauty remarkably. 

In fact, my wife & I got a little lost in the woods today, and we heard two small but beautiful voices call to us from a nearby tree. There were two lovely & helpful Fairies in the tree. Tiril & Kaja led us to the correct trail to find the beautiful lake we were looking for.  By the way, in this drawing Kaja is closer than Tiril, so because of perspective she looks larger, but both are beautiful little Fairies that are around 5 inches tall. 

Of course, like all Fairies, Kaja & Tiril can magically transform into mortal size and internalize their wings. They can also magically hide their cute little pointy ears. Tiril & Kaja like to help out mortals, so, like many Fairies, they live a double life in both the mortal world and the Fairy Realm. Many Fairies work in the hospitality industry or in medical care. Being naturally gifted with animals (Fairies can talk to and understand animals), many Fairies work as veterinary techs or as veterinarians. 

I will scan and repost this coloring page I drew when we return from Norway. Then you will have a clearer coloring page, and you’ll be able to print the picture. 

       Several days and a plane ride later...

I wrote the above while we were on vacation. We have been home a few days and are dealing with jet lag. So, today I am reposting the drawing or coloring page. So, you CAN print the coloring page now. And the image posted on this page is now much clearer since I was able to use our scanner instead of just a photo of the drawing/coloring page.   BUT my family is doing a Juneteenth celebration, so I will finish reposting this in a few minutes.

OK, I am back. We had a special red drink and talked about how evil slavery was and the freeing of the African American slaves. I will now post the printable version of this coloring page. But first I want to thank the people of Bergen, Norway... and especially the staff of the Grand Hotel Terminus in Bergen. Terminus was a funny name for me because I am an Isaac Asimov fan and I really love his Foundation Series. In that series, the new capital of the galaxy will be on the planet Terminus.

Sierria the Damselfly Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new coloring page is of a Damselfly Fairy.

Sierria the Damselfly Fairy

Damselflies are related to dragonflies, but damselflies are smaller. Both damselflies and dragonflies are in the insect order of Odonata. Damselfly Fairies, like Sierria, are protectors of these small but beautiful insects. Many damselflies are found high in the mountains and near mountain lakes, creeks, and streams. I should say near and in the mountain water because the larval stage of this insect lives in the water. 

Like many Fairies who live or work out in Nature, Sierria has a mountainous name. This is because damselflies thrive in the waters of the Sierra Nevada Mountains... and Sierria is a Damselfly Fairy. There are many, many different species of damselflies in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 

In this drawing, you see Sierraia near some Mariposa Lilies. These are native flowers that live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Mariposa Lily flowers resemble tulips. A damselfly is seen flying just over Sierria's head.

Loki and Lokiceratops

 The Norse God of Mischief and Lokiceratops are today's new coloring pages

that I have drawn for you to print and color.

Loki, the Norse God of Mischief

Loki is a Nordic or Norse God. He is neither evil nor good; he is more about chaos. Loki wears a helmet with large curved horns. 

 

Lokiceratops near a Volcano

This Ceratopsian dinosaur had many horns - including two large curved horns on its frill. This is why it was named after the Norse God of Mischief. Both the dinosaur and the Norse god have curved horns. Of course, Lokiceratops had many more horns than two. It had two large eyebrow horns above its eyes. In fact, Lokiceratops had 24 horns, counting its frill horns and its brow horns. It did not have a nose horn like its later cousin Triceratops. It was 22 feet long, or almost 7 meters long. It lived 78 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous, but not in the Very Late Cretaceous Period. 

This dinosaur's fossils were found in Montana, USA. But it is named after a Norse God... even though it was not found in Norway or any other Nordic country.

For the Norse God, just click on the button labeled Fantasy, Myths, and Circus.  Then scroll to the bottom of the list if you are accessing this page in late May or June of 2026.   For the dinosaur, just click on the Paleontology button.

Jessica and Lynnia Mother and Daughter Butterfly Fairies

 Today, the new coloring page I drew for you is of a 

Mother and Daughter Butterfly Fairies. 

This is my free coloring pages blog!

Jessica and Lynnia, Mother and Daughter Butterfly Fairies

Jessica and her daughter Lynnia are Butterfly Fairies. They are also Flower Fairies and are seen here in the grass near a tulip. Butterfly Fairies are also Flower Fairies because they help pollinate flowers. The untrained mortal eye would only see a pretty butterfly. You have to have been allowed to see magical creatures like Fairies. Fairies can see the pure in heart and sometimes will grant them the Fairy Touch. This means that the mortal has been made "Fairykind, and can now see Unicorns, Fairies, Elves, & etc.

Malawania anachronus an Ichthyosaur from Iraq

 Today's newest coloring page is of an ancient Marine Reptile from Iraq.

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Malawania anachronus an Ichthyosaur from Iraq

Malawania anachronus was an Ichthyosaur that was found in Iraq. OK, its fossilized skeleton was found in Iraq. It was from the early Cretaceous Period. Yet it was less derived than other contemporary Ichthyosaurs. Ichthyosaurs first appeared in the Triassic, and they evolved to be huge. Later Jurassic Ichthyosaurs were smaller but still very successful predators of the period. In the early part of the Late Cretaceous Period, Ichthyosaurs finally went extinct. That was around 94 million years ago. Malawania lived around 130-125 million years ago. So, Malawania had features more like the Triassic Ichthyosaurs. 

So this shows that there were some lineages of Ichthyosaurs that lived in the seas from 250 million years ago to 125 million years ago. If you do the simple math, you see that this lineage of Ichthyosaurs lived in the sea for around 125 million years. That is astounding! 

Malawania was around 3 meters or 10 feet long. So it was not as large as the giant 70-foot-long Ichthyosaurs of the Triassic Period. However, it had some of the traits of those more ancient Ichthyosaurs. Notice the large eyes. Malawania was a type of Opthalmasaurus. These were Ichthyosaurs that could see well in the dark. Their large eyes were able to gather a tremendous amount of light when they dived deep for prey such as Ammonites. In fact, the Malawania in the coloring page is after an Ammonite. 

Off in the more blurry distance is a Pliosaur after a Plesiosaur. There were bony fish and also sharks, squid, and crabs in the early Cretaceous Period - and they can also be seen. The flowery-looking animals are not plants. They are called Sea Lilies or Crinoids.

Noble the Ranger marries Laney the Elven Healer

Today's newest coloring page celebrates the wedding of 

Noble, a Ranger, and Laney, an Elven Healer.

Noble the Ranger marries Laney the Elven Healer

Elven Healers are gifted with both excellent medical skills and the good or white magic of the Elves. They are also very kind as well as brilliant. Of course, like all Elves, Laney is a beautiful person who knows that her beauty is also tied up in being a very kind and good person. Laney will sometimes go to help in battle as a healer. However, her skills at fighting would put most mortals to shame. 

Rangers roam the wild and do good. They are not robbers; they are more like law-keepers who fight against the evil in the world. Noble is also part Elf back many generations in his ancestry, so he will live well beyond the lifespan of a purely mortal man. Noble is a handsome man, and he is also handsome on the inside because he travels around doing good. Noble also has some healing skills. Of course, his fighting skills are legendary. He met Laney when they were working together after a battle of Men and Elves vs. the Goblins and Orcs.

Tribute to Deadliest Catch - Alaskan King Crab coloring page

 

Today on my free coloring pages blog, I am posting a drawing

or a coloring page of an Alaskan King Crab.

This is my tribute to what is one of my favorite shows...

Deadliest Catch!

Alaskan King Crab on the Beach

The show Deadliest Catch is about fishermen and fisherwomen fishing for crab in the Bering Sea up near Alaska. I find it an amazing show. They are on a rolling deck dropping and retrieving crap pots that weigh hundreds of pounds. The "pots" are actually cages. Crabs detect the bait and crawl into the cages, and can't get out. 

The crew has to retrieve the pot from hundreds of feet below what is often a rough sea. Finding where the crabs are is not always easy. In fact, it is very hard. The fishermen fish for several different species of crab, but not at the same time. Meaning that there is a King Crab season and an Ophilio Crab season, etc. 

The personal relationships and the personalities are what really drive the show. I find them fascinating and entertaining as well. Season 22 started a few weeks ago, and episode 3 is on this Friday, May 22, 2026. 

In this drawing, the crab is walking on a beach. Cold-climate plants and some other marine animals are also seen on the sand. See if you can spot them: A clam, a piece of driftwood, a large pinecone, a branch off of a pine tree, a serrated leaf, a starfish, and a piece of kelp that washed ashore.

There are over 100 species of starfish in the Bering Sea. The beaches of Alaska frequently have kelp washed ashore. Know that kelp is not a plant, it is plant-like... but it is in Kingdom: Protista. Shore pines live near the shore, but I have to admit that their pinecones are way smaller than the pinecone in my drawing. 

NOTE: To find this coloring page in printable form, just click on the button labeled "Animals." Then scroll down to the bottom of the drop-down menu. This coloring page I drew will be there at or near the bottom of the list IF you are accessing this blog during May or June 2026. If you are accessing this site later, then the drawing's title will still be there, somewhat towards the bottom of the list of animal coloring pages.
