Sue Drummond was walking her beloved Shih Tzu, Bibi, on a pier in Melbourne, when a fierce gust of wind picked him up and hurled him into the rough waters of the bay. A passerby, Raden Soemawinata, who happened to be on the pier that day to scatter his grandmother's ashes, wasted no time in stripping down and diving into the bay to rescue the animal.

Photo Friday: Ring of Fire Eclipse
This past Sunday, May 20, 2012, the earth was treated to a rare sight - an annular solar eclipse, meaning the sun is visible as a ring when the moon passes in front of it. Eclipses like this are rare and only happen when the moon's orbit is at its furthest point from the earth and closer to the sun.
Here are some photos from that cosmically cool event.

Haleakala's Moonbow
This wickedly magical photo is a "moonbow," a lunar rainbow created as moonlight passes through fog. It was taken at Haleakala, Maui and published on National Geographic's website. The bright, twinkling "star" is actually Mars, and it was actually at its closest point to Earth in 2010.

Photo Friday: Van Gogh to Rothko in 30 Seconds
Today's Photo Friday is a little bit different.
It's actually not just one image, but a thousand images of some of the world's greatest works of art.
It's fascinating how images one right after the other for 30-seconds tells a pretty epic story.

Photo Friday: Brilliant Blue Butterflies
Years ago, I did a 23-day Outward Bound Course in Costa Rica. One of the most magical parts of that trip was when we stumbled upon a brilliant blue wall. As we got closer, we realized it was hundreds of butterflies. It was definitely one of those overwhelmingly inspiring moments that has always stuck with me.
Happy Friday!
