Nature: August 2007 Archives

We saw lots of them while sailing, including a few that were diving into the water for fish. I was hoping to see some dolphins as well, but no such luck.

Yikes. That's a lot of bees. They were encased in a plastic house at the Museum of Natural Science, but there was a tube that allowed them to fly outside to do their pollen thing.

Jose and I were on our way out of the Butterfly Center at the Museum of Natural Science when out of the corner of my eye, I spied movement. It was definitely not the flutter of a butterfly. Turns out it was this guy!

I neglected to write down what this mineral was, so sadly I have no idea. It was one of the many cool minerals and gems at the Museum of Natural Science.
