Sea Turtle Facebook Cover

Sea turtles are born on land buried in the sand with 1000 or so brothers and sisters. They hatch and begin the crawl instinctively toward the ocean, where predators are eagerly awaiting. Roughly the size of your palm, they can eventually grow to 15 feet long and live up to 100 years, but only if they survive the first day. Female turtles that survive will instinctively return to the beach where they were born to lay eggs, sometimes within feet of where they hatched many years earlier.

Sea turtles have been regular subject of tattoos since long before the current popularity of body ink. It was traditional for seamen in the Navy to get a sea turtle tattoo as an indicator that they had crossed the equator.

Celebrate Thomas Edison's birthday with this Facebook quote cover

Thomas Edison Facebook Cover

One of my personal heroes is Thomas Edison, the inventor from New Jersey with over 1000 patents in his name. He founded General Electric as well as a utility company, Metropolitan Edison, for whom I used to work.

The lightbulb was just the most famous of his inventions, but today our lives would be radically different if not for Thomas Edison. His work with electricity, batteries, lightbulbs, film projectors, the phonograph and even basic switches that would later become early computers, Edison's ability to constantly innovate and create was remarkable.

If each of us tried just a little harder to stretch our capabilities, imagine our world.

Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847, and today would be his 170th birthday.

Planet Earth Facebook covers with bonus profile picture

"Save the earth. It's where I keep my stuff."

If you keep your stuff on earth, like me, you may want to use this Facebook cover of planet Earth as seen from the space shuttle orbit.

All three images are cropped from the same image, a super high resolution photo courtesy of NASA.

If you look carefully, you can see your house.

Easter Facebook Covers

Easter is the celebration most important to Christians. It's believed that Jesus Christ returned to life on the third day after his crucifixion.

The first Facebook cover represents Jesus ascending into heaven and joining God.



The second Facebook cover is a photo in modern-day Jerusalem. The Catholic Church believes this tomb held the body of Jesus. You can see the massive stone track where a large round stone would've been rolled into place sealing the tomb.

According to the Bible, Jesus' followers arrived at the tomb the second morning to discover the massive stone had been rolled away and the tomb was open.



Happy Easter, everyone.

Inspirational Architecture


Architecture is made of great inspiration, and inspiration is made of great architecture. The Pyramids of Giza are probably the best example of inspiring architecture.
