Natural Engineering

The human race has done many wonderful things (and a few pretty stupid things as well). We can put a man on the moon, we can transplant vital human organs, we can beam live pictures all round the world, and we can also communicate instantaneously virtually anywhere in the world etc, etc, etc. All clever stuff.

 

This is a fuchsia. In some areas they grow wild like a weed and form multicoloured bushes and hedgerows. Its flowers can be of virtually any colour, but they are always so complex and delicate that they wave in the slightest breeze.

 

Nature did this engineering.

 

Perhaps we have a little way to go yet.
