Last post from Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science for now. This is the second time I have cast River as Nature, and probably the tenth time Matthew has been cast as a scientist. Inspired by Barrias' sculpture.
Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science. As Nature unveils more of herself Science becomes more advanced. The second photo is a close match to Bariras' sculpture.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) flower petal wet mount in phase contrast. The irregular, interlocked cells are different than other flower petals I have imaged. 40X objective.
I am getting in touch with my inner Vincent van Gogh. I found a sunflower with the florets in bloom and had to come back and get some photos. I believe these are prairie sunflowers (Helianthus petiolaris) and common sunflowers (Helianthus annuus).
