A compelling read, Botany of Desire, by Michael Pollan, is a look at how nature's desires and human desires are often intertwined for the mutual good of each other. We have domesticated plants to satisfy our needs, and these plants have adapted so they can reproduce. Woven into this is how animals capitalize on these desires to make the world more advantageous to their own needs.
Plants, people, animals ... in some miraculous natural balance. Cooperation without agreeing to cooperate.
If you have some time, a library near you likely carries the title. :)
Live Oak trees on Edisto Island SC. The twisting overhanging branches of the live oaks dripping with Spanish moss and covered in Ivy is a unique beauty found along the coast of South Carolina and Georgie in the US. I visit the Charleston area every year and this sight never ceases to amaze me.
