Jesus in the Mountains coloring page

 Today's new drawing on this free coloring pages blog is of

Jesus in the Mountains,

Jesus in the Mountains

When Jesus was on the Earth He liked to go up into the mountains and into nature to be with God... or to pray and commune with God.  He often went up alone.  The maintains were a sacred place of peace to Him.

I feel that the mountains are still a beautiful place where we can feel closer to God.  I know a skier who worked ski patrol and he felt close to God while he was up in the mountains skiing.  Of course, I still feel it is important to go to church and fellowship with my fellow Christians, and serve one another.  But I also think that here in Utah we forget about how beautiful it is up in our mountains.  I think we need to get up there more often.  In fact, wherever you live you should consider looking for opportunities to get out and enjoy Nature. 

My family and I also love fishing up in the mountain streams. We also enjoy hiking.  A couple of weeks ago we drove up to a high mountain lake to hike and take photos of the glorious fall leaves.

P. S.  I need to go take my grandson to Tai Kwon Do so I will be posting the printable version later tonight.  Sorry. 

Baryonyx a Smaller, Piscivore, and Early Spinosaur coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

I have drawn all these drawings except a few done my a grandniece and grandnephew.

I am Robin Lyman, a retired Science teacher. 

Today's new drawing is of a type of sailless Spinosaur 

called Baryonyx.

Baryonyx with Chick

(new drawing)

Baryonyx was a smaller type of Spinosaur.  Like its larger and more well-known cousin, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx was a fish-eating dinosaur or piscivore.  Though smaller than Spinosaurus, it was not exactly tiny.  Baryonyx was around 30 feet or 9 meters long.  It lived in what is now the United Kingdom.  Baryonyx was the first piscivore dinosaur ever discovered.  Its Genus name refers to the huge "index finger" claw on each hand.  It is thought that the large claws were used to fillet fish before eating.  

It lived in the Early Cretaceous Period around 130-125 million years ago.  It is thought by some that perhaps Theropod dinosaurs carried their offspring in their mouth like crocodilians do.  It is amazing to think of such large predatory animals being gentle parents but the evidence indicates that they were. 

Since many modern animals have camouflage patterns and/or unique markings, it is reasonable to assume that dinosaurs had similar unique characteristics.  Hence the patterns on the skin/scales of these dinosaur drawings.

NOTE:  This new drawing is found by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the Cenozoic Era part of the list.  New drawings are found at the bottom of the list. Below is another drawing that was done previously of Baryonyx.  Its printable version is found further up the Paleontology list.

TBD Torpedo Bomber and Dauntless Dive Bomber World War II aircraft coloring pages

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!  

Today the new drawing is of a US Navy 

torpedo bomber.  The Battle of Midway was the last battle 

this aircraft was used.

TBD Torpedo Bomber

(also called Devastator)

(New Drawing)

By the time the TBD saw action in the Battle of Midway, it was already pretty much obsolete.  Nearly all of these torpedo planes were shot down by Japanese Zero fighters or by anti-aircraft fire from Japanese ships.  

Yet the courage of the pilots and crews of these planes is unsurpassed in the history of warfare.  They were too slow and the majority were sitting ducks for the Zeros.  Sadly, one squadron of 15 planes was all shot down in their attempt to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi.  Only one pilot of all 30 aviators survived.  He was Ensign George Gay.  He had a front-row seat to the rest of the battle and he saw how the American dive bombers were very successful in their attacks on the Japanese carriers. 

Because of the sacrifice of the torpedo bombers, the dive bombers were able to dive from high altitude with no Zero fighters attacking them.  The fighters were all still down low after chasing the torpedo bombers.  Torpedo bombers had to attack from a low altitude so their torpedo would not break up upon hitting the water. 

I recently finished re-reading a book called: The Battle of Midway, Pivotal Moments.  I was again so impressed by the courage of these flight crews of the TBD Devastator Torpedo Bombers.  I was so impressed that I drew another picture of this aircraft.  (The new drawing is up at the top of this post.)  I HAVE drawn this torpedo bomber once before.  Below is the older drawing.  I have added some new shading to this drawing.

Sunflower Fairy named Naomia with a Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly coloring page

This is a free coloring pages blog.

There are over 2800 free coloring pages. 

Today's new drawing is of a Sunflower Fairy.

Naomia the Sunflower Fairy

(With a Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly)

Naomia is a Sunflower Fairy.  She cares for Sunflowers but she also cares for butterflies that visit Sunflowers.  She is seen here with a Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly.  Naomia is a beautiful Fairy who is both kind and skillful.  It may surprise you but she also harvests sunflower seeds for her Fairy village.  

Of course, she also protects Sunflowers and all types of butterflies that visit sunflowers. 

Checkerspot Butterflies come in more than 24 species,  They are one of the types of butterflies that visit sunflowers.  However, they visit other species of flowers as well.  They are beautiful with somewhat of a checkered pattern on their wings.

Unicorn Fairies including Alexequusia coloring pages (2 EXTRA DRAWINGS ADDED!)

 Yesterday on this free coloring pages blog I posted

a drawing of a Unicorn Fairy with her wings internalized. 

Today I am adding two new drawings of the same Unicorn

Fairy with her wings externalized.

I will be following the text from today's modified post

 with some drawings from older posts...

again, of Unicorn Fairies. 

Alexequusia the Unicorn Fairy

(With Her Wings Internalized)

Alexequusia with Lacewings

(Her wings are now externalized.)

Alexequusia with Butterfly Wings
(Her wings here are again externalized.)

Unicorns and Fairies are almost always friendly with one another.  First, you need to know that Unicorns are sentient beings, NOT horses.  However, Unicorns have a LOT in common with horses.  Since Unicorns sometimes spend time leading herds of mustangs or brumbies (wild horses) the IQ or intelligence level of wild horses has gone remarkably up.  Some half Unicorn - half horses are actually sentient themselves. 

Alexequusia is a close friend to one of these half Unicorn - half horse sentient creatures.  Of course, Alexequusia is seen here at full mortal size.  Of course, her natural size is 5 inches or about 17 cm.  At this size, Alexquusia can and does ride her Unicorn friend.  They are a pair of friends, not either being subservient.   

I will say that it is difficult to draw the beauty of a Fairy (especially this Fairy).  And I will again remind you (if you are a regular reader) that true beauty is more in the heart and less in physical features.  That being said, Alexequusia is a true beauty in every sense of the word.  She is also good with horses and full-blooded Unicorns.  She is good with ALL animals, not just horses and Unicorns.  She is also friendly with and good with dogs. 

Like all Fairies  Alexequusia has the ability to internalize her wings.  That is what she has done here.  Unicorn magic and Fairy magic will trick mortal eyes into seeing a young mortal woman riding a horse… not a Fairy (with pointed ears) riding a Unicorn.  But this Fairy is particularly gifted with her wings,  She can transform her wings from lace wings to butterfly wings,  So, in the first drawing she has her wings magically internalized.  She has made her wings visible in the next drawing - and they are lace wings or wings similar to a Lacewing Fly.  In the third drawing, Alexequusia is seen with her wings again externalized and transformed into butterfly-like wings.

by the way, the name Alexequusia actually means "Defender of Horses."  Of course, Unicorns are far more intelligent than horses, but Unicorns ARE a type of super-intelligent horse.  So Alexequusia is a defender of horses and Unicorns,  You see, often Unicorns will run with herds of wild horses.  Unicorn Fairies will defend both Unicorns and wild horses like the Brumby from Australia... and Mustangs in the United States... or Przewalski in Europe and Asia.

Mortals can't see the horn on a Unicorn.  Well, at least MOST mortals can't see the horn.  A few kind and gifted mortals CAN recognize a Unicorn.  Unicorns are clairvoyant and can detect a hostile mortal from a kind one.  Unicorns are known to be very close to Fairies and once in a while friendly with an exceptional mortal.  

NOTE:  These new drawings can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of coloring page drawings.  Below are a few other older drawings of Unicorns and Faires. There are actually a lot more if you search the Fantasy, Myths, and Circus page of this blog.

Ciela the Sky Fairy -with a Wedge-tailed Eagle coloring page

 Hi or Hi again!  I am Robin Lyman and this is my free coloring pages blog.

I am a retired and disabled science teacher.  

This blog has over 2700 free, printable coloring pages. 

Today's new drawing is of a Sky Fairy.

Ciela the Sky Fairy with a Wedge-tailed Eagle

This is Ciela who is a Sky Fairy.  She is from Australia  Sky Fairies get their name because they love high-flying birds, like this Wedge-tailed  Eagle.  Since Sky Fairies are frequently up high in the air they got that name.  Sometimes they are called Raptor Fairies.  Sky Fairies even have raptor-like wings. 

Wedge-tailed Eagles are the largest bird of prey in Australia.  They can have a wingspan of up to 9 ft 4 inches.  That is 2.84 meters!!  Interesting that there are a dozen species of Wedge-tailed eagles. We saw this type of eagle on our tour of Outback Australia.  

Sky Fairies, like Ciela, prefer to transform to a maximum size.  She, like all Fairies, can transform to various sizes.  A Fairy's natural size is around 5 inches or 12.7 cm tall.  But Sky Fairies will often transform to a size close to 8 feet or 2.4 meters tall.  The larger size and mass is conducive to flying in the high winds of the atmosphere at the altitude where raptor birds fly.  Being any smaller makes it too easy to be blown far off course by the high winds.  by the way, the Griffon Vulture can fly up to 37,000 feet high.  They are among the raptor friends of Sky Fairies.  

I think the next bird I draw will be a Griffon Vulture.

P.S. This drawing of a Wedge-tailed Eagle is not as accurate as one I drew and posted a few years ago... when we went to Australia.  This current drawing will probably bug me enough that I will "fix" it and repost this drawing.  

Young Carcharodontosaurus coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

My name is Robin and this blog has around 2700 free and printable coloring pages.

This is NOT a color online.  Having once been a kindergarten teacher 

I believe that coloring with crayons teaches good hand-eye coordination and

is a good introduction to writing. 

Today's new drawing is an amazing dinosaur named

Carcharodontosaurus.

Young Cacharodontosaurus

This is a young Carcharodontosaurus.  An adult could get to be up to 41 feet long.  That is over 12 meters.  It was the 5th largest Theropod dinosaur.  It lived in North Africa and was discovered before World War II,  but the fossils were in Germany and were destroyed during the war.  

Chacharodontosaurus lived in what is now North Africa.  That was just under 100 million years ago.  It had a narrowing of the snout and a bite force that was less than that of a T. rex.  It fed on Sauropods.  It probably made a slashing bite or bites on a Sauropod and waited for it to weaken.  It did NOT have a crushing bite like T. rex.  But it was just under the size of a T. rex.  Sauropods were mostly much larger than a Carcharodontosaurus so bites to the side or legs or even tail may have caused bleeding that may have weakened the huge herbivore.

The name "Carcharodontosaurus"  means "Shark Tooth Lizard."  This is because the teeth look remarkably like the teeth of a Great White Shark.
