After a week of fighting with a broken laptop, finally managed to finish of 'Mother Earth' challenge.

Whales in Baja California Mexico

During the months of December to early April, something incredible happens in Baja California: almost the entire world's population of grey whales, humpacks and 2-3,000 blue whales migrate to its shallow lagoons to socialise, mate and give birth. Rivaled only by the Galapagos, the world's second largest peninsula is a paradise for marine mammals - and a must-visit for those in search of one of the most spectacular wildlife-spotting experiences on our planet.

Life

of 'Mother Earth' challenge

In this week's challenge, I have decided to draw my daughter, who was born 5 months ago. It's incredible how life works - we grown, learn and adapt so quickly when we're young, and every little thing seems so exciting. Our brains work at such a high capacity and our mind is so flexible. That seems to change as our life passes - that freedom in our mind becomes restricted by social norms, we become too used to our environment and too scared to make changes. We estimate happiness based on comparisons and find things less exciting than they were when we were kids. There's no harm in trying to look at life sometimes the way children do and be more appreciative of what we have, because we are lucky to be alive on this beautiful planet! We should be grateful for that every moment and we should raise our children to be good humans - protect the environment and be kind to each other.

'Monarch butterfly migration'

of 'Mother Earth' challenge

Monarch butterfly migration is the phenomenon, mainly across North America, where the subspecies Danaus plexippus migrates each summer and winter to and from overwintering sites on the West Coast of California or mountainous sites in Central Mexico. Other subspecies perform minor migrations or none at all. The massive movement of butterflies has been called 'one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world'.

Octopuses are playful, resourceful, and inquisitive. Some species cuddle with one another, while others have been known to bond with humans. They are among the most highly evolved invertebrates and are considered by many biologists to be the most intelligent. They possess long-term and short-term memories, similar to vertebrates, and pass their personality traits on to their offspring.
