Sunday Nature Photos

Here are some nature photos. The first I like to call "staring down the barrel of a banana plant". Banana plant leaves have a very interesting way of developing; they spiral outward and upward away from the meristem before relaxing and spreading out to receive the sun's rays. Very cool.

Here is one for Chad. This is as good as I could get as far as photo clarity. I will say that these little red and black bugs appeared every day in the yard at 11 a.m. or so last week marching towards our house in groups of a hundred or so.
