Bradley Fighing Vehicle coloring page

 You have found my free coloring pages blog.

There are somewhere around 3000 drawings that I have drawn for you to print and color.

OR for you to print for children to color.  Although some of the drawings are quite detailed.

SOME of the drawings are done for younger kids.

Today's newest drawing is of the 

Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

Bradley Fighting Vehicle

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle comes in two basic types:  The M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Bradley Reconnaissance Vehicle.  The INFANTRY version carries 6 soldiers along with the three-man crew.  The M3 is used for scouting etc. Both versions have TOW anti-tank missiles along with a primary weapon of a 25 mm chain gun.  It is also called an autocannon. This gun can fire depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds.  

The Bradley also has a 7.62 mm machine gun for defense against infantry or lightly armored vehicles.  The armor-piercing rounds are capable of severely damaging an older-generation tank at close range with a lucky or precise shot to the tank's weaker areas.  I mentioned the TOW anti-tank missiles.  The Bradley Fighting Vehicle actually carries 5 of these excellent tank-killing weapons.  

The commander, the gunner, and the driver compose the three-person crew.  And, the six additional soldiers can be fully equipped.  There are many Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have been built and are still in service. This somewhat lightly armored vehicle is still being manufactured and the US Army is buying hundreds more.  It will one day be replaced.  But for now, it is the US Army's primary fire support and infantry and scouting vehicle.  Although the new Booker sort of light tank will be excellent fire support.

Fona herzogae the Burrowing Dinosaur coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

You have 3000+ drawings to choose from.

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

Today's new drawing is of a small burrowing dinosaur.

Fona herzogae the Burrowing Dinosaur

This dinosaur lived in what is now Utah, USA.  It was about the size of a very large dog and it appears that it spent much of its life underground in its burrow.  It had strong back legs that it most certainly used for digging burrows.  It lived around 90 million years ago in the Mid-Cretaceous Period.  Fona herzogae was an herbivore - it ate plants.  In fact, it probably ate the roots of plants. 

If you are wondering why there is grass in this drawing, YES they have found evidence of the first grasses on Earth dating back as far as 100-110 million years ago.  So the grass in this drawing is accurate.  A few years ago it was thought that grass did not appear until the end of the Cretaceous Period or even after the Cretaceous Period ended.  We now have good evidence that grass had been around much longer than previously known.  

To be more specific on size, Fona herzogae was around 3 feet tall and 6 feet long.  That is roughly .9 meters tall and 1.8 meters long.  It had a face-full of feathers that it probably used like moles use their face appendages to feel in the dark while underground.  

The young offspring is drawn small with an oversized head.  There ARE examples of baby dinos with that oversized head "cuteness factor."

Firefly Fairy Children coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

There are around 3000 drawings that I drew that you can print to color.

Today's new drawing is of Fairy Children. 

Namely Firefly Fairy Children.

Firefly Fairy Children

Mortal children who live where fireflies are common love fireflies.  Fairy children are the same way. This is a drawing of two Fairy children who are hanging out with two of their firefly friends.  I guess the difference between mortal children and Fairy children is that the Fairy children are closer to the size of the fireflies.  

Of course, Fairy children can TALK with the fireflies and mortal children can talk to them but can't understand what the fireflies are saying back.  Many fairies can communicate with many species of animals.  But often a Fairy will choose a particular type of animal to befriend.  In this case it is clear that these Fairy children chose Fireflies.  

The two planets you see in this drawing are Saturn and Jupiter.

Terrible Trenton the Pirate - the poem and coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.  The original unedited version of the following poem was posted on the Captain Trenton Pirate entry.  This is the revised and more complete version.  The picture is of Captain Terrible Trenton, the pirate. 

Captain Trenton Pirate with His Parrot

TERRIBLE TRENTON

Here we see Terrible Trenton 

A pillaging journey he went on

He’ll remove any gold tooth 

The victims are let loose

Then in a skiff, they are sent on

 

Captain Trenton steals gold teeth and ships

But he’s not cruel one little bit

He’s been in the Navy

The gold teeth are gravy

Pulling gold teeth - he’s really good at it

 

As pirates go Trenton’s rather kind

Before teeth-pulling victims get to dine

He medicates them with rum

So their mouth is all numb

But for their missing gold teeth, they will pine

 

 But at least they don’t have to   walk the plank

For that they really should    Trenton thank

They are still alive

Not in a fatal dive

Their gold teeth Captain Trenton   will bank

 

Captain Trenton thinks he’s so cool 

With his blue parrot, he named Azul

But if you have a tooth of gold

And don’t want it stolen & sold

Stay away from that big ocean pool

 

 

 

 

Alia the Tooth Fairy coloring page

You have found my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of Alia, a Tooth Fairy.

Alia the Tooth Fairy

Alia is the Tooth Fairy.  To be more accurate, she is ONE of the thousands of Tooth Fairies.  These are Fairies that like to use their magic to find teeth under children's pillows.  They leave some kind of treasure, usually some kind of coin.  

Alia, like many Tooth Fairies, actually works in the mortal realm.  They are born into the Fairy realm but have chosen to work in the mortal realm.  They often go on to marry a mortal.  Some of the Tooth Fairies are half mortal and half Fairy.  All Fairies can internalize and hide their wings so that they appear to be a mortal.  

Obviously, these Tooth Fairies are very kind because they seek to help brighten the mornings of children in many parts of the world - where there is a Tooth Fairy tradition.

Woman who touched the Hem of Jesus' Robe coloring page

This is my free coloring page blog.  

There are around 3000 coloring page pictures that I have drawn.

Today's new drawing is from the New Testament part of the Holy Bible.

It is of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment or robe.

 Woman who Touched the Hem of Jesus' Robe

This is a drawing of Jesus in a crowd.  He was on His way to raise the daughter of Jarius.  

There was a crowd thronging Him yet he felt someone touch him and power come out of Him.

He asked, "Who touched me."

A woman who had an issue of blood for many years was who touched the Savior.  She had been ostracized and spent all her money on trying to be cured.  Vaginal bleeding by Jewish law made her ritually unclean.  She must have suffered terribly over the years.  So since she was considered unclean a fellow Jew was not supposed to touch her.  So she thought that maybe if she just touched the hem of Jesus' robe or garment then she could be healed.  She probably did not want Jesus to be made unclean if he touched her to heal her.  Clearly she had incredible faith!

Jesus waited and she finally admitted that it was her.  Jesus said to her, "Daughter, be of good comfort.  Thy faith hath made thee whole."

I love this story.  My wife and I are big fans of the show about the ministry of Jesus. The show is called "The Chosen."  That show portrays this story very beautifully.  In fact, this is our favorite portrayal of Jesus in any show or movie we have ever seen.  We highly recommend it.

M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.  There are around 3000 free-to-print coloring pages.

Today's new coloring page is a drawing I did of the M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank.

M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank

This is the main battle tank of the USA.  It is called the M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank.  It was first put into production and used by the US Army in February of 1980.  It was designed in the 1970s to replace the M-60 Main Battle Tank.  The Abrams was named after Creighton William Abrams who was a general in WW II who commanded armor units.  Armor units mean tanks.  He also was involved in Vietnam and was a the chief of staff of the US Army in 1972.  

The Abrams tank originally weighed 60 tons or 120,000 lbs.  The latest version weighs 71.2 tons.  It has gone through many upgrades and iterations.  But there are 3 main versions.  The M1, the M1A1, and the M1A2.  

The tank can travel at a top speed of 45 miles per hour on a road and 42 miles per hour off-road.  Its main armament is a 120 mm cannon.  It can hit targets accurately while moving.  It can hit targets almost 2 miles away.  

Now, on a secondary note.  This tank is seen on a cliff of red rock.  The dark stains on the rock are not from the tank.  These stains are thought to be caused by magnesium-rich bacteria that color the rocks. 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the Vehicles and Military Vehicles button.  Then if you are accessing this in September or near September 2024 then the title of this drawing will be near or at the bottom of the list.  

I want to mention that I drew this tank while at my granddaughter's hour-long gymnastics class.  I did not have a straight edge or ruler.  And I drew this kind of fast.  So the circles and "straight lines" are not perfectly round nor perfectly straight. So forgive me if it isn't perfect.  I personally think it is more impressive from a distance.  In fact, you could imagine that you are looking at this tank through heat a heat mirage on a hot summer day.  

Have fun coloring, and you can color it how you like.  But know that I added a desert camouflage pattern that would be colored dark brown, light beige, white, and possibly black.
