Swallow-Tailed Kite

Here you have found my free coloring pages blog.

There are over 3000 drawings that I did for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of a bird from Florida called

The Swallow-Tailed Kite.

Swallow-Tailed Kite

Swallow-tailed kites live all over Florida and along the coast of some of the SouthEast states of the United States of America.  They once ranged along the Mississippi River valley as far north as Minnesota, but human logging, etc. have driven them out of those traditional ranges.  It is a type of hawk that flies elegantly.  It prefers to nest high in the trees of forests and forested mountains or swampland.  With its pointed swept-back wings it looks like a fighter jet.  It has an impressive wingspan of 47-54 inches.  

This type of kite feeds on birds, dragonflies, and even reptiles that they pluck from the treetop branches.  They can swoop down and scoop up a drink from open water as they fly. You usually see these birds soaring.  You rarely see them flapping their wings.

Nephi, Alma, Nephi Prophets of the Book of Mormon Another Testament Of Jesus Christ

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

There are no ads and no fees to print my coloring page drawings. 

I drew nearly all of these coloring pages. 

Today I am posting three drawings from the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Nephi son of Lehi on the Ship with the Liahona

This is a picture of Nephi who came to the Americas with his father Lehi and the rest of his immediate and extended family.  Here he is seen with his daughter and he is holding the Liahona or divine source guiding compass.  Nephi was a prophet in his own right and he was very faithful and very brave. He is the ancestor of the other two prophets in this post.  Nephi had to deal with rebellious older brothers who wanted to kill him.  Plus Nephi crossed the Arabian Peninsula and built a ship then crossed the oceans to the Promised Land somewhere in North or South America.

Alma the Younger teaches about Faith

In this drawing we see Alma the Younger teaching about Faith.  His missionary companion is Amulek.  Alma the Younger had once been a rebellious youth.  But he repented and became a great prophet.  Here he is seen with Amulek teaching the poor of the Zoramites about faith. Basically, you see the perspective of the Zoramites - Alma teaching with Amulek at his side.  The characters are drawn I Mound Builder clothing.  Some of the Mound Builders may have been the Nephites and Lamanites of the Book of Mormon.  DNA evidence seems to point that way. 

Faith is compared to a seed that can grow into a tree.  I love this chapter of the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Christ.  It is found in Alma Chapter 32.  I think we can compare faith to a seed but we also can compare our relationship to God to a seed.  And even our relationship with others can be compared to a seed.  When we nurture a relationship the seed of friendship and love grows. 

Alma's son Heleman had a son named Heleman.  Then Heleman II had a son named Nephi.  This Nephi is seen in the below drawing. 

Nephi son of Nephi praying for the Believers

Nephi II was the son of Nephi I who was the son of Heleman II who was the son of Heleman I who was the son of Alma II who was the son of Alma I who was converted by the preaching of the great martyred prophet Abinidi.  

When Nephi I the son of Heleman II left his son Nephi II in charge the unbelievers soon concocted a plan to kill all the believers who had faith in Samuel the Lamanite's prophecy concerning the signs of the coming of Christ in the world.  Those signs were a new star and a night that was bright as day.  In this drawing we see Nephi II praying for the believers and getting a response from the Savior.  The Savior Jesus Christ said to Nephi II that that night he, the Savior would be born and the sign of a new star would be seen.  The wicked people with murderous intent were shocked and all repented and the believers were saved. 

I love the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ.  These true stories are so amazing to me.  I sometimes ask myself, "Could any man or team of men in rural New York 196 years ago have written this book?  The answer is clearly no.  The book is as proclaimed, a translated record of some of the former inhabitants of the New World continents or continent.  Where it happened exactly is not known.  Alma and Amulek are drawn as if the Nephites were some of the North American Mound Builders culture.

Annah the Reef Mermaid

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing for you to print and color is of

a Reef Mermaid named Annah.

 Annah the Reef Mermaid

As you would expect, Reef Mermaids care for the coral reefs of the world.  Annah is seen here siding on an underwater rock at a coral reef.  There is a clownfish in a sea anemone.  There are two parrotfish.  There is a shark and also a small lobster.  All animals of the reef respect Merfolk.  Annah is wise enough to understand that many of the marine life on the reef prey on other animals.  She seeks to keep a healthy ecological balance. In fact, one meaning of the name "Annah" is to answer or provide solutions.  That is what Annh and the other Reef Mermaids and Mermen do.  They provide answers to help restore the ecological balance of the reefs of the world.  Unfortunately, global temperature is rising and that is negatively affecting many coral reefs.  

You might notice that she has a small Trident in her right hand.  This is a small Trident but even so, it is very powerful.  In fact it is as powerful as a large Trident such as what King Trident or Poseidon possess.  Most Merfolk carry at least a small Trident.  It is much like the Fairy wand.  

Annah's clothing is made from kelp leaves that have a special charm on them.  This charm strengthens the kelp leaves and keeps them alive and green even though the leaves are detached from the actual kelp organism.  Did you know that kelp is not a plant?  It is actually a plant-like member of Kingdom: Protista.

Marilyssa the Cruise Mermaid

This is my free coloring pages blog.  

There are around 3000 drawings that I have done that you 

can print to color.  OR print for a child you know to color.

Today's new coloring page is of another Cruise Mermaid. 

This is the second Cruise Mermaid that I have drawn. 

Marilyssa the Cruising Mermaid

This second drawing I have done of a Cruise Mermaid is of a Mermaid named Marilyssa.  The name means Star of the Sea.  This is a good name for a Mermaid.  She enjoys following cruise ships and interacting with passengers and crew members from time to time.  She has been known to bring pods of whales and dolphins close to the ship for the entertainment of the mortals on board.  

It was another Cruise Mermaid who brought the whales to near our cruise ship on our last Alaskan cruise.  We were on the Quantum of the Seas.  Marilyssa is living in the Caribbean right now.  In fact, the ship she is shadowing is the Royal Caribbean ship called the Rhapsody of the Seas.  The Rhapsody is the first cruise ship my wife and I were on.  We have sailed on her to Alaska and to the Western Caribbean.  She is not the biggest cruise ship but she can get close to the glaciers while the bigger Royal Caribbean ships like the Quantum can not do that.

Lokiceratops a new Ceratopsian from New Mexico

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

There are around 3000 drawings that can be printed and colored.

I drew all these drawings except for a few done by a grandniece and grandnephew.

Today's new drawing is of a newly named horned dinosaur.

Lokiceratops

Lokiceratops was discovered in what is now the state of New Mexico in the USA. It was a Ceratopsian or horned dinosaur with a frill.  This was a fairly large animal at 22 feet or 6.7 meters long.  It had a very decorated frill with many mini-horns but two big ones that looked like the Norse god Loki.  Hence the name Lokiceratops.  Like all Ceratopsians it had a beaked mouth and was a herbivore. 

NOTE:  This drawing in printable form is found by clicking on the Paleontology button and scrolling down to the bottom of the Mesozoic Life section.  Have fun coloring this unusual extinct horned dino.

Nephi and Lehi sons of Helaman

 This is my free coloring pages blog.  

Today's new drawing is of Nephi and Lehi the sons of Heleman.

Nephi & Lehi sons of Heleman

Nephi and Lehi, the sons of Heleman II were great missionaries.  They went to the Nephite enemies, the Lamanites and were put in prison.  They were suddenly surrounded by heavenly fire and they were not burned.  They converted the entire Lamanite Nation!

Anniah the Maple Fairy

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog. 

This blog has over 3000 free and printable coloring pages.  

Today's new drawing is of a Maple Fairy. 

Anniah the Maple Fairy

The beautiful Maple Fairies are lovers of sweet maple syrup.  They care for the sugar maple trees and help to curtail the predation from squirrels and porcupines especially. Annaiah is seen here in intermediate size.  You may not know this, but all Fairies can change size from their natural five-inch length to mortal size and even a bit larger.  Anniah is shown here at 1/4 mortal size or so. This size helps her deal with the squirrels and porcupines better. 

I guess I should point out that Anniah is a Sugar Maple Fairy.  There are Maple Fairies that prefer sugar maples.  Anniah is one of these.  There are Norway Maple Fairies and Silver Maple Fairies, and Big Tooth Maple Fairies etc. 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths and Circus."  I want to emphasize that a coloring page can not capture the full beauty of a beautiful Fairy.  However, remember that true beauty includes what kind of person (or Fairy) you are.  Anniah is beautiful on multiple levels.  Scroll down the list to get to this drawing.
