... this is off-topic but the intricacy depicted in this painting of a cell is exactly what the covid vaccines interfere with.

Damn, Andrew. That first is downright 3-D in effect. Excellent depth of shot in that one. And the latter is a painting waiting to be framed. Excellent work.

I like to collect stone faces, the expressions fascinate me.

Razzer, ancient stone architecture & sculpture has always fascinated me too. It's the archaeologist in me ( and that Scorpio love of the unknown mysetery ).
If you're ever in the states, you must visit Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA ( where Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is based ). It's amazingly filled with sculptures of such emotion they're utterly profound.
I have too many photos to chooe one; just trust me when I tell you, if you're looking for a story in stone, there's a place for you there.

NASA has a poster hanging with bees that reads:
"Aerodynamically a bee's body is not made to fly; the good thing is that the bee doesn't know ".
The law of physics says that a bee cannot fly, the aerodynamic principle says that the breadth of its wings is too small to keep its huge body in flight, but a bee doesn’t know, it doesn’t know anything about physics or its logic and flies anyway.
This is what we can all do, fly and prevail in every moment in the face of any difficulty and in any circumstance despite what they say. Let us be bees, no matter the size of our wings, we take flight and enjoy the pollen of life."

This sounds like a place I would enjoy, I'll add it to the bucket list, Thanks for sharing

Had to cut down a diseased olive tree recently (it will grow new shoots around the base) but the lichen growth on the stump looked quite something.

I hate that about the olive tree, Josh. But it's better to take them down when they're sick when all else to save them fails. At least it will regenerate. That's an awesome shot.

It will regenerate amazingly. In fact, a standard practice round here is to cut healthy olive trees down to a stump deliberately which then (due to their large old root system) will shoot up from that root system and in 5 years or so will produce wonderful olives.

I don't know why I cringed when reading that. That would seem to interfere with nature's cycle for production purposes?
