“At the time, I was figuring out who I was going to be in the rescue world and what I was made of. Everything felt heavy and challenging. Patrick wasn’t a distraction from all of that, but he was a reminder of the little kid inside of me who just absolutely loves dogs.” – @TheAsherHouse from Saved by the Pack.

“This so-called super generation can live up to nine months as they travel thousands of miles to their forebears’ wintering grounds in central Mexico—a place they have never seen before. They are the great-grandchildren of the butterflies that left in the spring. How they find their way to the very same patch of forest remains one of the great mysteries of the natural world.” – @JaimeRojo from Monarchs.

“Turn any corner in Hull and there’ll be an homage to its 800 years of British maritime heritage: a weather vane in the form of an 18th-century sailing ship, an elaborate coat of arms with an upturned anchor above a Georgian shipping office, or even herring carved into the pavements around the old docks. Life in this northern city on the mighty Humber Estuary has been shaped by the sea for centuries.” – from Best of the World Volume 1

“Creativity and exploration are journeys into the unknown. That is a rational cause for fear. Fear is not good for creativity. If we expect to create, we need some kind of courage.” – @JoeRohde from Floating Mountains.

📸: “This volcano, sacred to the Maasai people, erupts with a rare type of unusually cool lava, only around 1000°F. Only. It erupted right in front of us one morning. Here, the team is booking it out of town before rocks start falling out of the sky, which they did … later, obviously. Ol Doinyo Lengai, Lake Natron, Tanzania, 2007.
📸: This bull elephant is closer than he looks. Luckily, there was still room for the camp guards to get between him and me. This happened on the same trip as the volcanic eruption, a trip that also involved several intimate venomous snake encounters, hippos in places they shouldn’t be, and a near collision between our aircraft and a flock of marabou storks. A travel pack of phobias. Sort of, ‘If it’s Tuesday, this must be cobras.’” Tanzania, 2007.

“Something happened when I encountered my first big cat, that black jaguar, in Guatemala. I still don’t understand why this animal affected me so deeply, but it pawed its way into my subconscious.
Perhaps it was primordial fascination or old instinct embedded deep within the primitive recesses of my brain. Jaguars have been both feared and revered for millennia by cultures across Central and South America. Panthera onca is the New World’s largest and the world’s third biggest cat.” –

“No matter how much space we have or don’t have, I’ll drop everything within minutes to rescue a dog from a shelter. . . Ken’s kennel was marked red because he was high-risk. He was an escape artist who’d been adopted and run away too many times to count.
The truth is, Ken wasn’t running away. He was running to something: the home that could meet his needs, that trusted him, and that he could trust. I’ve given him his freedom, and in return, he always comes back. That means the world to me because I knew as soon as I saw him that this was going to be our life together.” – @theasherhouse

Happy Halloween from Nat Geo Books! 🎃📚
“Few monsters loom as large in modern popular culture as the bloodthirsty vampire. Amalgams of 19th-century literary characters such as Dracula and centuries-old folklore traditions, these creatures feast in the dead of night, their fangs slipping into innocents’ throats and draining their life force. They were once human but now exist beyond both life and death, with many sleeping in coffins or graves before their nocturnal hunts. Some are beautiful, others grotesque. Despite their strength and power, they have vulnerabilities—including, most famously, a wooden stake through the heart.” – from the Book of Magic and the Occult

“The otherwise non-spooky township of Hellam in southern Pennsylvania has been persistently rumored to be a portal to hell. Like the seven Gates of Guinee in New Orleans, this legend also has seven gates that lead to an underworld. And if you step through all seven gates in the woods northwest of town, you instantly land in hell.” – @eewritesbooks
