WW: Plumed Basilisk at Rainforest Zoo

Female Plumed Basilisk Photo

"I am the lizard king,
I can do anything."
 - Celebration of the Lizard Lyrics by Jim Morrison

This proud lady lizard was not what I was expecting to see after I read the basilisk name tag - my mind slithered to the giant reptile from Harry Potter, inspired by the King of Serpents legend. Speaking of snakes, did you see my snakeskin nail art yet? I'm hosting another Jamberry Nails party!

    Great minds must think alike as my brain also wandered to Harry Potter! The color is amazing, just the right shade of green.

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch.

Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist.
