Navy Flower Power Egg The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.
Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.
Plasma Phenomenon A beautiful purply-green plasma phenomenon. You can almost feel the energy fizzing from it!

@ Earth Tones “If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting from the postcard I bought in the gift shop," maddie moo said, offering Ala a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, maddie moo!" said Ala. "Very relaxing, and your painting will be a great souvenir of our trip through the Elements!" Earth Tones Don't you just love these rust-like, earthy, orange tones? They provide a brilliant way to embrace the calming properties of nature in your home and are very "in" at the moment!

Lights and fire have always been part of celebrations. The fizz and crackle of a sparkler held in hand bring delight, casting its tiny glow on happy faces.

@ Celebrate With Candles "It says here that 'fire' is from the Old English fȳr, of West Germanic origin; related to Dutch vuur and German Feuer," remarked Ala. "That's interesting!" responded Marty Mole. Celebrate With Candles Ever since candles were invented by the Romans in 500 BC, candles have been a part of celebrations and life in general. A candle is a light to banish the darkness, placed in a window as a beacon for a weary traveller. Candles have been used to tell the passing of time, to warm a room, and as a symbol of hope. That tiny flame means so much to so many people.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Marty Mole.
Ala shook paws with Marty Mole the Merry Mole. They both received one silver mole!

@ Flamboyant Phoenix "A trivia question for you, Bunty Bondette!" announced Ala. "Who is the largest consumer of fireworks in the United States?" Bunty Bondette pondered. "I don't know, Ala, who is it?" "It's Walt Disney World. The park launches the fireworks with compressed air instead of gunpowder to reduce fumes and gain better height and timing." Flamboyant Phoenix Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a phoenix of colourful smoke effects!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Bunty Bondette.
Ala shook paws with Bunty Bondette the Bunny Rabbit. They both received one silver mole!

@ Tillers of the Earth "Did you know you can start a fire with ice, Ala?" asked Voldetort. "How on earth do you do that?" queried Ala. "Well, you need a disc of clear ice shaped into a lens, then use it as you would a magnifying glass to shine the sun's rays onto flammable material, such as dry grass." Tillers of the Earth Whether it is on a small-scale domestic allotment or larger scale smallholding or farm, an annual task is to turn over the soil ready for crop-planting, to produce that satisfying harvest later in the year!

"Wow indeedy!" responded Isabella. River Thames From the Air Starting as a small trickle in the Cotswolds, the River Thames travels over 210 miles (338km) through the heart of some of England’s most picturesque towns, right into the centre of London and eventually, out into the North Sea.

@ Determination Of Life "Oh, Pyron Toothless!

"That is ironic for sure!" responded Pyron Toothless. Determination Of Life Fragile green life fights against all odds to burst forth into the air.

@ Celebration Sparkler "Foxy Sir, I've got something called "sepia effect" on my camera. I've got a feeling it’s faulty, though.

@ Meditation In Pink “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Ala!” said Rory. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my jumper?" Ala good-naturedly took charge of Rory's possessions while he emptied his rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the jumper right at the bottom. This he donned and then Ala helped him put everything back in his rucksack. Meditation In Pink Celebrations are made of this, looking back while anticipating what is to come. The soft glow of a lit candle catches the eye, draws you in, and erases the now—for a moment.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Rory.
Ala shook paws with Rory the Corgi. They both received one silver mole!

Magic Of A Candle Candles are magical, they bring smiles when the room is darkened and the birthday cake is brought in with all the candles alight. Candles bring a feeling of coziness and romance when placed on a dining table and the lights are turned down low. Candles light the footpath, can warm a room, and light a darkened corner. Ala has completed his exploration of "Earth and Fire"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also explore the Elements!
