I was looking at sunflowers in the flower festival and was absolutely blown away by the symmetric and beautiful pattern at the center of the sunflower. Even the ones drying and dying had this preserved. It was so pretty. I...

It's time my car needed a clean! This cobweb keeps coming back everytime I clean it away. My guess is that the spider is living inside the mirror and just puts another new web everytime I clean it away. It must be that the insects...

Nope - I'm not swearing. We drove out to a reservoir at the foothills less than an hour away, and this was the view that greeted us. It's a great mix of hills, trees, meadows, a huge water body and the dam. They had a couple of...
