He was filmed still marvelling at the very high levels of cognitive processing these "tiny brained" insects display when navigating their feeding grounds. In her 6 week lifespan, a worker learns all the landmarks in her territory. She may visit up to 2000 flowers in day. That is miraculous in my book.Peter Bryentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581859685728207325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-5419950712102903002013-08-06T17:11:28.848+01:002013-08-06T17:11:28.848+01:00I'm with you.

That and what you described is a kind of devotion I don’t really understand. The walk among nature’s splendor would be my spiritual equivalent.

And yes, nature is the true miracle.<br /><br />Ms. Moon: Chichen Itza is wonderful, yes? I don't think you are allowed in that particular structure anymore--at least not when we were there. And those steps were made for people with much shorter legs I am thinking. ;)<br /><br />Save travels home Steve & Dave!

That reminded me of the time when we were at Chichen Itza and decided to go and see the Jaguar Throne which is inside an inner part of a pyramid and I didn't realize how tiny the steps would be or how dark and close the stairwell and I thought I would die getting there and getting down and there was no escape and too many people pressing in on me and it was horrible.<br />Yes. Give me the outdoors and the butterflies and trees and water any day.
