Here are some terrific photos of my home, and yours, courtesy of NASA. In these photos of the Earth, you’ll see hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, mountains, and melting ice and much more. You can turn the helpful captions on and off.

And these ten time lapse nature videos seemed like the perfect compliment to the NASA photos. My favorites arethe tree through the seasons, the dandelion and the garden cress with the trio of clocks. http://mashable.com/2011/04/24/time-lapse-nature/…
