SUMMARY: Spring brings new trends for refreshing your home, focusing on creating a warm, cozy sanctuary with rich colors like reds, rusts, and oranges, especially in kitchens, moving away from grays. The trend emphasizes balance in vibrant hues, integrating strong furniture pieces or décor in black to avoid overwhelming spaces. Designers highlight the importance of classic interior design elements such as millwork, moldings, neutral walls, marble, wood flooring, and antique furniture for timeless appeal. Mixing metals like gold, silver, and bronze is popular, along with a relaxed, collected look. Bedrooms are evolving into personal sanctuaries with romantic, comforting canopies and textured bedding. Aesthetic trends include Asian influences, framed botanicals, and the cozy cottage look, encouraging personalized design mixing vintage with modern décor.

SUMMARY: Naturalist Sharon Milligan witnessed a dramatic encounter at a pond where a Banded Water Snake captured a Two-toed Amphiuma by its tail. Knowing the snake’s determination, the outcome was clear: the amphiuma would soon be swallowed whole despite its ability to deliver a painful bite. Water snakes are equipped with flexible jaws to consume large prey. This encounter highlighted the amphiuma’s rarity, as they are nocturnal and primarily inhabit burrows. Both species sit at the top of their local aquatic food chains, with water snakes able to tackle larger prey than the amphibians. Sharon’s documentation enriches understanding of these creatures.
