Tree Fairies - Alexulmia the Elm Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new coloring page I drew for you is of an Elm Fairy.



Tree Fairies - Alexulmia the Elm Fairy

Alexulmia is a Tree Fairy. That means she probably live in an underground village that is under an elm tree. This is not a dirty or muddy hole in the ground. This is a carved-out cavern that is brightly lit and has hundreds of little Fairy houses. Alexulmia gets part of her name from the Genus name for elm trees. That word or name is "Ulmus."  Alexulmia is seen here just sliding off a tree branch to fly away. She is also known to be kind to animals, especially dogs. She will find lost or abandoned puppies or dogs and find them new, safe homes. So as you can see, Alexulmia is beautiful, but she is also very kind. Kindness is a HUGE part of beauty. 

Elm trees are kinda unique. notice that the leaves are NOT symmetrical. You might think I drew the leaves carelessly. But I did not. The retired science teacher in me won't allow that. The leaves on an elm tree are actually asymmetrical and clearly are not a mirror image on each side. 

There are American Elm native to North America, but here in Utah, our elm trees are transplants from Asia and are more likely Chinese Elm or more likely Russian Elm. American Elms were once common but Dutch Elm Disease killed a lot of them off.

 Estes são alguns animais do início do período Cretáceo, provenientes do que hoje é o Brasil.  


 



Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs from Brazil

Esses animais são um espinossauro chamado Irritator challengeri. Esse dinossauro terópode media 8 metros de comprimento, ou 26 pés. Tinha 3 metros de altura. O Irritator tinha um focinho alongado com 80 cm de comprimento. Ele se alimentava principalmente de peixes, então só iria incomodar um saurópode se a pesca estivesse ruim. 


O saurópode, ou dinossauro de pescoço longo, é um Tapuiasaurus macedoi. Esse saurópode tinha 14 metros de comprimento. Ele pesava 9 ou 10 toneladas. Tinha 5 metros de altura. Isso equivale a 16 pés de altura na altura dos ombros. Aqui ele está em pé sobre as patas traseiras, erguido para desafiar o predador. Provavelmente tem cerca de 30 pés de altura nesta foto.


O Pupuxuara era um pterossauro com uma grande crista plana. Essa crista pode ter funcionado como um leme durante o voo. O Tupuxuara tinha uma envergadura de 4,7 metros, ou seja, era bem grande.

Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs from Brazil coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's drawing or coloring page I have drawn is in honor of my fans in Brazil.

These are some animals of the Early Cretaceous Period from

what is now Brazil.  

I will be posting this in Portuguese as well.


Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs from Brazil


These animals are a Spinosaur called Irritator challengeri. This Theropod dinosaur was 8 meters long or 26 feet long. It was 9 feet or 3 meters tall. Irratator had an elongated snout that was 80 cm or 2/6 feet long. It fed mostly on fish, so it would only be messing with a Sauropod if the fishing had gone bad. 

The Sauropod or long-neck dinosaur is a Tapuiasaurus macedoi. This Sauropod was 43 feet or 14 meters long. It weighed 9 or 10 tons. It was 5 meters tall. That is 16 feet tall at the shoulders. Here it is standing on its back feet, reared up to challenge the predator. It is probably closer to 30 feet tall in this picture.

Pupuxuara was a Pterosaur with a large flat crest. That crest may have acted like a rudder in flight. Tupuxuara had a wingspan of 4.7 meters or 15 feet wide, so it was pretty large.

Jesus with Doggy in the Woods & a Canaan Dog coloring pages

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of Jesus with a doggy.



Jesus with a Doggy in the Woods

You often see drawings or paintings of Jesus with a lamb. We don't have a lamb, but we DO have a couple of doggies in our house. So I thought of Jesus saying that not one sparrow would fall to the ground without His Father's care. (Matthew 10:29) So, I figured Jesus loves animals, and considering how pet dogs and doggies are a big part of many people's lives, I figured that Jesus loves dogs too. 

The type of dog pictured is a small, wavy-haired doggy. (I'll admit it looks like our pet micro-mini goldendoodle.) Although in Jesus' time on Earth, dogs were more working animals helping shepherds guard the sheep, etc. The Canaan dog was probably the most common. It had erect ears, was hardy, and was medium-sized. I suspect shepherds became bonded to their dogs. So, here is a coloring page of the Canaan Dog.



Canaan Dog

I am thinking about drawing a shepherd boy with his Canaan dog. I will also draw a shepherd girl with her Canaan dog. It turns out that girls and women were shepherds too - even in the time of Christ. 

By the way, Jesus loves us the most of all. He died to pay the eternal price for our sins. Because of Him, we can one day return to live with our Heavenly Parents. We must repent of our sins and strive to do better. We must have faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sins. We can even live eternally with our family from our Earth-life. We need to be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, receive our Temple Blessings, and be sealed for time and all eternity to our spouse and children.

To learn more about this, feel free to look up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My wife and I served missions when we were younger, and thousands of or fellow-members are serving as missionaries now.

New Theropod Dino from the Late Triassic Period of Wales coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing or coloring page is of a newly

discovered Theropod predatory dinosaur from Wales.



New Theropod Dinosaur from Triassic

A newly discovered dinosaur related to Coelophysis was found in Wales. It lived about 200 million years ago in the Late Triassic Period. It was about a meter tall and 2-3 meters long. It was lightly built and was one of the earliest widely successful theropod dinosaurs. 
It actually does not have a name assigned to it. But the Late Triassic Period Pterosaur is called Caelestiventus. The flying pterosaur was found in North America in the Saints and Sinners Quarry. I have seen a Coelophysis skull in the rock at that quarry. So, although Caelestiventus lived far from what is now Wales, the Earth was still pretty much one continent in the Late Triassic. And these two ancient animals may well have lived together.

Jesus turns Water into Wine coloring page

 Coloring page of Jesus' first miracle

This is my free coloring pages blog. 


Jesus turns Water into Wine

The first known miracle that Jesus performed was turning water into wine at a wedding. I suppose He may have performed other miracles as He was growing up and as a young adult. But this is the first of His miracles recorded in the New Testament. But also consider this: Jesus is also Jehovah, the Son of God the Father. Jesus created the Earth. He was the God the Son, and He was behind many miracles we read about in the Old Testament. So, from that viewpoint, turning the water into wine was certainly not His first miracle. 

NOTE: This coloring page that I drew for you is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the New Testament section. If you are accessing this page in April of 2026, then the title of this drawing will be found there. Click on the title to get the printable coloring page.

Kaycia the Pet Fairy coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I am posting a drawing of a Pet Fairy.



Kaycia the Pet Fairy

Kaycia is one of those Fairies that lives a double life. She lives among mortals to work with animals, but goes on patrol at night to help lost pets. When in mortal form, she magically internalizes her wings and goes to mortal size. Here she is seen still in mortal size and helping a lost micro-mini goldendoodle. 

Kaycia is a Pet Fairy, and she is also a Swallowtail Fairy. Her wing patterns are similar to those of swallowtail butterflies. There are close to 600 species of swallowtail butterflies worldwide. 

People who work with pets, and Fairies who work with and care for pets, are some of the kindest people on our planet. Kaycia is no exception. She is beautiful on the inside, and that enhances her considerable beauty on the outside. I have to add that a coloring page style of drawing falls short of sharing her beauty. But I can tell you that she is so kind that her beauty makes her glow - in mortal or Fairy form.
