@ Drama In The Sky
Icelyn ♡ begins her experience of Sky!
Drama In The Sky
The sky is not opening up, but it sure seems that way, with the brilliant flashes of light and the loud crack as the air expands. Get indoors as fast as you can, and keep your pets safe as not many will enjoy the dramatic storm taking place outside.

@ Fluffy Clouds

Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Fluffy Clouds
Looking like a whipped-up marshmallow spread in the sky. I propose a day of relaxing, we will find a field and lay down on some grass and look up at the clouds and play a game about what they look like to each of us.

@ Rainbow Over The Grey Sea
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Plandemic, after it and Icelyn ♡ had spent some time exploring another wing of the art gallery to its end.
"Is there a gift shop after this?" enquired Icelyn ♡. "The thought of that generally keeps me going!"
Rainbow Over The Grey Sea
A spectacular rainbow just touching the land. Rainbows and hummingbirds (which are like tiny flying rainbows) bring smiles to all who view them. The science behind what makes a rainbow is interesting but it will never be as much fun as the stories you can dream up to explain that bow of colours in the sky.

@ Balloons In The Sky
"Choose a name, I've got something called "sepia effect" on my camera. I've got a feeling it’s faulty, though. It just makes everything go all brown!”
"Oh, Icelyn ♡, that's what it's supposed to do! See that exhibit over there?"
Balloons In The Sky
Some like balloons a lot—some, however, do not. Balloons can be colourful, or have fun saying on them—if you choose to enjoy balloons, please dispose of them safely after, so they don’t pollute the water and land and cause distress for our animal friends.

@ Hide And Seek Moon
“Let's just drink in this exhibit, shall we, Icelyn ♡?” suggested Whoot, sinking down on a convenient chair.
Icelyn ♡ agreed it was well worth spending some time there!
Hide And Seek Moon
The moon is playing a game—it has enlisted the help of the clouds, showing its face one moment, then hiding behind a passing cloud.

@ The Milky Way
"Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes," said Icelyn ♡.
"That makes sense!" replied Dorlinger.
The Milky Way
The Milky Way Galaxy, with spiral arms outstretched, moves through the cosmos devouring other galaxies—and far into the future, the Milky Way Galaxy will itself be devoured. From our viewpoint on Earth, it appears as a milky band—millions of stars lighting up the deep dark of space.

@ Boeing Stearman Biplane
“You know what, Icelyn ♡?” said Julian. “Seeing all these amazing photographs makes me want to take up photography myself!”
“Sounds like a great idea!" replied Icelyn ♡. "There’s an evening class you can join when we get back!"
Boeing Stearman Biplane
The Boeing-Stearman Modle 75 Biplane, radial engine, built during the 1930s-40s and at least 10,626 were built in the U.S.A. This plane was a military trainer aircraft.

@ The Silver Path
A natural gas vent in Iraq known as The Eternal Fire has been burning continuously for over 4000 years, and it has been mentioned by Herodotus, Plutarch and in the Old Testament Book of Daniel.
The Silver Path
A ribbon of moonlight on a calm sea, a path to follow. What lies beyond the horizon? will you take a chance?

@ Classic Biplane CB-1
A natural gas vent in Iraq known as The Eternal Fire has been burning continuously for over 4000 years, and it has been mentioned by Herodotus, Plutarch and in the Old Testament Book of Daniel.
Classic Biplane CB-1
This classic Hatz CB-1, 1960s biplane is built from a kit. The CB-1 is a tandem dual-control two-seat biplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and is powered by a variety of nose-mounted small engines. Steel tube fuselage and tail with wooden wings.

@ Sunglasses Everyone
The doldrums is a wind-free area around the equator where sailing ships used to get stuck for weeks. Hence the phrase ‘in the doldrums’.
Sunglasses Everyone
The sun is so bright today that you really need to wear sunglasses if you hope to avoid a headache and eye strain. If there is not enough light, you cannot see—too much light, and you cannot see. The perfect amount of sun, just like the perfect porridge, is what we want.

@ A Mystical Place
The air in Earth’s atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.
A Mystical Place
A small craft sets off on an adventure; the pets are excited and wonder what they will see. Passing through a bank of clouds, the sea and sky change. This is not any place the pets have ever seen before. Were they magically transported to a new planet. Is this a dream, are they all still at home tucked up in bed.
They gaze in wonder at the stars that shine brighter and closer than any stars they are used to; the water is as still as a sheet of glass, the pets want to reach down and grab a star reflection, so solid do they appear.

@ When Sky And Water Become As One
The fastest gust of wind ever recorded on Earth was 253 miles per hour.
When Sky And Water Become As One
It is easy to see how one could lose their way when out at sea when the sky and sea are the same colour and there are no other guiding landmarks. Beautiful and peaceful to look upon from a safe and sure place.

@ Pastel Pink Sky
“I could stay here in front of this image forever, Icelyn ♡,” said CatchThis18. “This is an amazing place!”
“Well, you never know what lies ahead, CatchThis18. I wouldn't be surprised if the next exhibit is even better!” said Icelyn ♡.
Pastel Pink Sky
When the sky is filled with clouds and depending on the time of day you can get the most spectacular colour displays, from light pastels to vibrant hues. Ever-changing and ever-fascinating, always look up or you may miss a most marvellous show.

@ Red Arrows, UK
"Oh, Foxton the Ferocious! It says in our tour guide that no one knows who invented the fire hydrant, because its patent was destroyed in a fire in Washington in 1836!" declared Icelyn ♡.
"That is ironic for sure!" responded Foxton the Ferocious.
Red Arrows, UK
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team flying in their Diamond Nine formation. 2022 marks the Hawk-jets' 58th season of displays, and the team has completed 5,000 different appearances around the world.

@ Soaring Under Clouds
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Soaring Under Clouds
A single plane, the sky, and clouds, a peaceful scene. Do you wonder where the plane is headed? Will the plane go through the clouds and will it encounter some raindrops. Where will the plane eventually land?

Image 16/25

@ Touch The Moon
"There's a fun project in our brochure on how to make a weather vane from an ice cream container lid, scissors, a marker pen, a skewer, a straw and a pin," remarked Icelyn ♡.
"Cool!" responded Zuri. "We could make a start when we get back to our hotel tonight."
Touch The Moon
If you walk across that field and pass that gnarled tree and continue to walk just a bit further, I bet you could touch the moon, maybe even carry it home in a basket—though then what would others do when wanting some moonlight.

@ Winging Home
"Did you know that kite flying and fire fighting featured at the 1900 Olympics in Paris, Choose a name?"
"That's amazing, Icelyn ♡!"

Winging Home
At the end of the day—it is time to wing homeward, flying past the orange sky, the reflections in the water below follow along, with no choice of their own.

Image 18/25

@ Heron On A Misty Mornings
"What two elements is water made up of, Icelyn ♡?" asked Choose a name.
"That's easy: hydrogen and oxygen!"
"Correct, Icelyn ♡! Two parts of hydrogen to one part oxygen, making the element name H2O."
Heron On A Misty Mornings
Do you like fog and mist? Sounds can be distorted so this solitary heron is listening carefully as it walks along a mist-covered shore, searching for breakfast.

Image 19/25

@ Fun Stars
"Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes," said Icelyn ♡.
"That makes sense!" replied Dorlinger.
Fun Stars
Such a delightful design for the wall of a young pet's room, or any pet that loves stars and cute things.

@ Substantial Cloud
Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
Substantial Cloud
Have you ever seen such a substantial cloud, a cloud with so much personality it almost seems as if it could talk to you? What would it say if it began to speak? Would it tell you where it formed, what it had seen as it travelled across the great blue sky, would it be able to say where it was headed and what it would do when it arrived?

Image 21/25

@ A Day In A Balloon
"Did you know you can start a fire with ice, Icelyn ♡?" asked fancy.
"How on earth do you do that?" queried Icelyn ♡.
"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."
A Day In A Balloon
Oh, what fun! We are all going on a balloon ride—high in the air. The pets have packed their favourite snacks and brought their scarves—in case the air is cool. They are chattering and chirping about what they might see once the balloon is in the air.

Image 22/25

@ Tree Silhouette
"Did you know that fire can only burn on Earth, Icelyn ♡?" asked Jen Fra.
"I guess I hadn't really thought about it, Jen Fra! Why is that, then?"
"It says here that fire can exist on no known planet, other than Earth itself. This is because the rest of the planets in our Galaxy don’t have enough oxygen to support the burning of a flame."
Tree Silhouette
We climbed a hill, and under the delicate branches of the trees, we stood still for a time and let the colours of the sunset relax our minds.

Image 23/25

@ A Very Grey Day
"Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes," said Icelyn ♡.
"That makes sense!" replied Frank.
A Very Grey Day
There are blustery days and snowy days, but I think this type of day would make a particular little donkey happy. Not everyone will love a grey day—on the bright side—when the sun does break through, it is such a delight that the dim greyness was worth it.

Image 24/25

@ Rainbow Over The Sea
"It's turned a bit hot, Icelyn ♡. They must have put the heating on! I'm going to take my scarf off," said Oswallt.
"Good scheme! I'll do the same," said Icelyn ♡.
Rainbow Over The Sea
I wonder how many rainbows are in the sky—all over the world—at any given moment. Rainbows seem to bring a lot of happiness even if there is not a pot of gold at the end—maybe the real treasure is the joy they bring.

@ Electrical Show
As Icelyn ♡'s experience of "Sky" comes to an end, she receives a wonderful gift!
Flowering Branch, Violet
Walking down the street, marvelling at the flowers awakening to the spring warmth. The new buds on trees bloom into a dazzling array of blossoms delighting the senses and gladening the heart. These wonderful violet blooms adorning delicate branches are a welcome addition to the garden.

Electrical Show
Bolts of energy, radiating light—flung downward from unseen hands—pierce the land.
Icelyn ♡ has completed her exploration of "Sky"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also explore the Elements!
