Those ocotillo are at the top of the cliff, WAY across the river. It never occurred to me I might catch bees on flowers at that distance. Amazing.

Few genes are required
One's brain is powerfully activated by learning that there are only 30,000 genes in the human genome. That is only twice as many as in the fruit fly, not renowned for its calculating ability, and about as many as a garden weed. Geneticists are sorely vexed that so few genes are required to make something as complex and clever as a geneticist.
