Life in a Cubic Foot in NatGeo

My favorite article in this month's NatGeo is "Within One Cubic Foot" - a photojournalism piece inspired by the thought that many small creatures can inhabit a relatively small amount of space- be it in a coral reef, on a mountain or ringing the trunk of a tree. The photos are fantastic - very Charley Harper - I wish I could repost them all but the majority are flash. Check out the full article!

A small world awaits exploration. As the flo­ras and faunas of the surface are examined more closely, the interlocking mechanisms of life are emerging in ever greater and more surprising detail. In time we will come fully to appreciate the magnificent little ecosystems that have fallen under our stewardship.

  2. Wow! Sometimes, we forget that we share this planet of ours with so many other of God's small creations! Reminds me of the time when I examined a drop of water under a microscope for the first time!

  3. I agree. There is so much more going on than one can see with the naked eye.
