Happy Saturday! Hope everyone has a great start to their weekend. Today we’ve got a shot taken in downtown Golden, Colorado. Golden is the hometown to the Coors Brewing Company, which also happens to be the largest brewery facility in the world. Golden is also the birthplace to the Jolly Rancher candy.

Happy Friday Everyone! This Friday we return to Puerto Rico to bring you the leaves of a Trumpet Tree (also referred to colloquially as Snakewood). The Trumpet Tree (Cecropia peltata) has been identified on the Global Invasive Species Database as one of the ‘worst 100’ invasive species. This is why we don’t bring seeds into foreign countries, kids.

Happy Thursday! This morning we have a lone Victoria Flower. The Victoria amazonica genus name was so given in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and the species name comes from the water lily being indigenous to the waters of the Amazon river basin.

Happy Wednesday! Sometimes you need not look further than your backyard in order to find beauty in nature. This little guy (Spring Peeper Frog) was taken just steps away from our home. The Spring Peeper gets its name from its distinctive high-pitched call that is similar to the sound made by young chickens.

Happy Tuesday! This morning we have a gorgeous Giant Panda. As many of you likely know, the Giant Panda is unfortunately an endangered species. It is up to all of us to do our part to protect all of our precious species and resources on this earth that we all share.

Happy Monday! For today we have a pair of cockatoos having some lovely nibbles. These birds are more intelligent than they appear; a recent study with Oxford University and the University of Vienna demonstrated that cockatoos are capable of solving “complex mechanical puzzles”.

Happy Sunday! Today’s photo of the day was taken at Castillo San Felipe del Morro (commonly referred to as ‘El Morro’) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. First built as a Spanish fort in 1589, it was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1983 and has since become an exclusive tourist destination.
