A visitor in my backyard today.
Life is order, death is disorder. A fundamental law of Nature states that spontaneous chemical changes in the universe tend toward chaos. But life has, during milliards of years of evolution, seemingly contradicted this law. With the aid of energy derived from the sun it has built up the most complicated systems to be found in the universe—living organisms. Living matter is characterized by a high degree of chemical organisation on all levels, from the organs of large organisms to the smallest constituents of the cell. The beauty we experience when we enjoy the exquisite form of a flower or a bird is a reflection of a microscopic beauty in the architecture of molecules.

Really nice. Nice color; nice surround.
Thanks Ralph, Kathleen and Kathleen!
This is a beautiful example of nature with the pure hue red, green & blue. Love it would like to see it printed full size.
Gorgeous, you need to frame this one. It’s a winner and I am jealous. :)
