And now for something a bit different: beauty in biology, from the Wellcome Trust Image Awards. If only I lived in London so I could see the exhibition for real; half a world away I'll settle for sharing the real pixels with you.
First, for my neglected gardening followers, a garden friend:

Honeybee
DAVID MCCARTHY AND ANNIE CAVANAGH
Next, a guess what...

Mouse retina
FREYA MOWAT, UCL
(Isn't it beautiful?)
Speaking of beautiful:

Ruby-tailed wasp
SPIKE WALKER
And finally, my favourite:

Blood clot on a plaster
ANNE WESTON, LONDON RESEARCH INSTITUTE, CANCER RESEARCH UK
Who would have ever thought there was beauty in a used bandaid?!
PS. Does any clever person out there know how to make my columns wider? I'm sick of good pictures being chopped off! In Blogger I tried Design>Template Designer>adjust column widths and got "this is not possible for this template".

OMG, images like these are both beautiful and a complete freak-out for me. My brain goes haywire!
Maybe the ex-y will come to Australia!? x
