Forget me not

I’m not sure that this is Forget-me-nots. My Forget-me-nots on video were not so hairy. Can anyone confirm what the plant it is?

Author cites the poem by Linda Shelburn Reagan:

Forget Me Not
Forget me not, for I am there
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.

Forgive me my parting and leaving you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!

Continue to strive toward your goal and be brave.
Know that my love didn’t stop at the grave.

My spirit is with you through good times and bad.
I share all the joys and the sorrows you’ve had.

Feel my presence within your next breath
And realize there’s no distance in death.

Ask for my help and I’ll answer your call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble and fall.

Run the last mile with a smile on your face.
My arms will be waiting when you finish the race.

Always remember, my love is right there
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.

Miners

These are harvester ants with powerful jaws. In a strange coincidence, a harvester ant colony has a comparable number of neurons as a human brain (and sometimes they try to convey this message visually =)
There are about 1.6 million ants for every person on earth. The ants you see crawling around are all female.
This gel farm was developed by NASA to survive Space Shuttle launches (sand would shift and crush the ants under many G’s). They wanted to study tunnel formation in microgravity. The gel does not collapse during launch, and it contains all the food and water the ants need. It also has some antibiotics and anti-fungal agents.

Buds and Blooms Stand Down

Author:

…I get a chance to share what these previous bud clusters look like when they bloom. The wind was great that day I shot these photos, and most clusters that bloomed were in disarray with many blooms spent or blown awkwardly. This section was shot from above to show the delicate blooms…
