The Antioquia Batholith, named after a region in Columbia forms a round structure in the middle of the relief map. It covers an area of about 7,800 square kilometers. Batholiths/Plutons occur when a large volume of magma intrudes and cools deep in the Earth’s crust. The Antioquia Batholith consists of late Cretaceous Gabbro-Granite intrusions weathered at depth to form saprolite. This special type of weathering at depth only occurs on landmasses between latitudes 35°N and 35°S. Seventy million years under hot steamy tropical conditions turns even the toughest granite to mush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1622339370469-9VDLS15ZSMQ9OTXDEYRI/saprolite+formation_0000.png The Art of Science Blog - El Penon de Guatape - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1621841510045-AO41HOTT8XPJFZE3YSGO/20181119_061702.jpg The Art of Science Blog - El Penon de Guatape - Make it stand out There are 659 steps on the way up to the top where apart from admiring the view you can also buy beer.

Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out The Miocene Waitemata Basin Our property in Kumeu stands on land once submerged 2 kilometres below the sea 20 million years ago. Then, a deepening sea (Waitemata Basin) collected sediments washed from massive marine volcanoes in the west and a coastline to the North composed mainly of durable greywacke rocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713757299244-E227ZG3WQIBS2QTWPYV4/20231113_130422sh+cr+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out Pushed from the past into the present. Under immense pressure, deep in the ocean, sediments slowly compacted to form mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates. Like water squeezed from a sponge, layers of sediment capable of slumping down slopes morphed slowly into solid rock. Over 15 million years, massive forces unleashed by the collision of crustal plates lifted layers of rock 4 kilometres thick slowly above the waves. It has been estimated that about 2 kilometres of these rocks have been removed by erosion and returned to the deep. A kind of giant Waitemata rock recycling process, forever chasing the plate boundary as it moves eastward. Otamakiro Point reminds us of the past. A vision of the future if we can hang around long enough. Mining companies chuck 98% of everything they pull from the ground away in the search for metals. The planet wastes nothing as it continually recycles. Pity we are about to interrupt 4.5 billion years of sound planetary self-management. Cry capitalist havoc and let slip the deep ocean machines of consumerist destruction.

The immense Waitakere volcano rose 4000 meters above the seabed 20 million years ago. Violent volcanic activity had ceased by 17 million years ago and the passage of time has not been kind to the original structure. A small conical section making up the present-day Waitakere Ranges is all that remains after erosion has taken its toll. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/e7ac0ef4-85b1-49db-b759-f548a1401f26/20240425_140613.+sh+cr+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out Sandstone and mudstone layers at Otakamiro point, Muriwai. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/713c5e84-624c-4c15-8fab-d1b9af160a0a/20240425_141332+sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out Thick sandstone layers.

Small volcanoclastic fragments with sediments from a short-lived Miocene flood event lasting a day or so are visible in this cliff section. A blurry 20 million-year-old snapshot records a small part of the ancient Waitakere Volcano history. Probably New Zealand's most spectacular volcano, it poured lava and volcanoclastic debris onto its submerged slopes, where strong sea currents transported it relentlessly into a deepening sea. The driving force for all this activity was a nearby subduction zone. The subduction zone has moved eastwards during the last 20 million years but is still driving volcanic activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/d98b42ee-3cf0-4854-b725-b9a8474b22d1/20240425_141629sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out Debris flows. Marine debris flows triggered by earthquakes or volcanic activity flowed down the slopes of the Waitakere volcano, coming to rest on the lower slopes. It disturbed and mixed with sedimentary layers on its journey. The course material scoured out holes and dragged material with it.

Five million years after I took this picture at Muriwai, Otakamiro Point has been completely eroded, its sandstone particles released and washed out to sea where the long process of new rock formation has started. The sediments buried all remains of the huge mining machines that plundered the ocean bed for precious metals. Another 15 million years has passed and the Waitakere recycling project continues relentlessly, tracking the plate boundary as it continues its easterly migration. The huge forces generated by collision processes at plate boundaries again lift sandstone rocks made from recycled Waitakere volcanic sandstones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/c440f192-8bb0-4956-a13e-a59c2c247bac/IMG_4370.jpeg The Art of Science Blog - Otakamiro point Muriwai, the land that time remembered. - Make it stand out In the future. Fully 20 million years from now a new Otakamiro Bay sits on a coastline 20 Kilometers east of its current position. Deep sea mining equipment discarded after a short lived mining boom down New Zealand’s west coast was slowly buried in muds and sandstone. Rusty outlines of this equipment is clearly visible in the rocks of a future Otakamiro Point.

Cobbles, boulders, and gravel forming the conglomerate block in the picture are on a journey that began in the early Miocene. Seventeen million years ago, they littered an ancient beach similar to the one we see today. Shaken by earthquakes, they tumbled down steep slopes inside a submarine canyon before settling on the pillow lavas. The rock debris slowly cemented under the immense pressure of overlying rocks to form a conglomerate. Fast-forward to recent times when a large conglomerate block eventually dislodged from the present-day cliffs. It continued its journey down the canyon slopes before stopping to have its picture taken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/2620e4fc-34d1-4fdd-bf0e-2abccacf791a/IMG_1933+sh+br+20+sc+art+diagram.png The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713064156833-HPGE5IGETNCA6E0V1Y68/IMG_1925sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out The ground is still moving.

Vast volumes of molten basalt poured out of the mantle to form new crustal material. Red hot lava at 1200 degrees Celsius chilled instantly in contact with the cold ocean to form a thin skin. Pressure continually forced lava through the chilled leading edge of the flow. Pillow-shaped lava streams snaked along the ocean floor over and around each other as they escaped from the mantle. A photographer on the surface with waterproof gear could have recorded the event as tubes of molten lava progressed along the ocean floor. Red lines of free-flowing lava flickered, extinguished by the cold water only to light up again as fresh material burst through thin water-chilled margins. A thin chilled margin is just visible around the pillow lava. The interior of the lobe cools and contracts more slowly. Radial cooling joints form from the outside as the cooling lava contracts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713064574227-NHL17NATIGIH371ABIU1/Screenshot+%28103%29+sh+art.png The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713064557963-PK3BLR72V7K04FHFL0WB/Screenshot+%28114%29cr+sh+art.png The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out Up close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713064607439-HKLDN3JGSF58CY00N00C/Screenshot+%28125%29cfr+sh+art.png The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1713064597699-JYTSGH96557PA1EH6QJ4/Screenshot+%28119%29+cr+sh+art.png The Art of Science Blog - Collins Bay with pillow lavas and a large block of conglomerate. - Make it stand out Flowing pillows tumble over and around each other. references.

The impatient clicking sounds from this insect were hard to ignore. Wings fit snugly along the fuselage while the insect decides if I am a threat.

It took some wild arm waving and head bobbing to get rid of the pest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/30d1ae70-3797-43ab-9cee-6ef416f3fd91/IMG_1342+sh+cr++art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Cicadas are back in town! - Make it stand out Amphipsalta Zelandica, a sleek machine. Cicadas are beautifully engineered flying machines with two enormous compound eyes. Their fields of vision overlap slightly, providing some stereoscopic perspective to their environment as they buzz around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/02e87a62-d995-4cf9-8308-2568300a96c9/IMG_1342+sh+cr+maxart.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Cicadas are back in town! - Make it stand out Those big dark eyes. The Australian ‘redeye’ cicada has about 7,500 individual visual units (ommatidia) in each compound eye. The three red dots are ocelli, additional “simple eyes” that are optically complex and probably assist stability in flight. More about that in another post. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/7dcdcb99-1ebd-42a2-b271-7740d7183482/compound+eye+2+reworked.gif The Art of Science Blog - Cicadas are back in town! - Make it stand out Compound Eyes, how do they work? The individual units of a compound eye are Ommatidia. Fused in a dome-like structure, they provide a wide range of views. With many different views to contend with simultaneously, insect vision is probably blurred. Movement is easily spotted as objects cross the field of view of nearby ommatidia. So how do they work? Light rays entering the compound eye pass through the lens of each ommatidium before travelling through a transparent cone. This cone converges light onto the tip of the rhabdom. Once inside the rhabdom, several photoreceptor cells containing rhodopsin molecules absorb light of varying wavelengths. Cicadas, like us, can detect a range of colours and intensities using the same chemistry. Rhodopsin is a complex folded protein found in cicadas and other animals. It has tiny compartments perfectly engineered to lock up a Vitamin A molecule. In humans, the vitamin A in these compartments absorbs light of differing wavelengths loosely corresponding to red, green and blue regions of the visible spectrum. When vitamin A absorbs light of the right wavelength, it changes shape, triggering a cascade of electrical signals. These signals travel to the brain, where they are processed, allowing the insect to navigate onto my head and off again while avoiding flailing arms. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/savage-garden-and-an-attack-by-a-killer-mantis monthly 0.5 2024-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/34061ac9-3804-497f-86f4-70572c1b0a89/mantis+and+butteffly+gif+2+short.gif The Art of Science Blog - Savage garden and an attack by a killer mantis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/fd91c11d-e037-4a2b-bcd4-08302f360aad/mantis+and+the+butterfly+1900+1200+art_0001.png The Art of Science Blog - Savage garden and an attack by a killer mantis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/savage-garden-and-an-attack-by-killer-wasps monthly 0.5 2024-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/08b81f45-d6a8-4dde-b612-77073866fc96/IMG_2736+sh+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Savage Garden and an attack by killer wasps. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/a71be1b1-5965-4a7e-8a92-09a0632a9650/oleandrin-cardenolide-glycoside+sc+up+sh+sh.png The Art of Science Blog - Savage Garden and an attack by killer wasps. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/w8pmlw5df7tgw6yyfn5rxxtlr7x2y5 monthly 0.5 2023-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/6b442abc-b1ce-463f-b652-a4e1fe1daef5/20231219_132100+cr+sh+sc+art+green+beetle.jpg The Art of Science Blog - A solitary green bottle with onboard advanced drone technology. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/c38c65f9-6585-4dd0-839a-1bdce9ee78f9/20231219_131940+green+beetle+cr+sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - A solitary green bottle with onboard advanced drone technology. - Make it stand out I found a green bottle fly stationary on a capsicum leaf.

Compound eyes channel information from the side, up, down and straight ahead to the central processor. The insect has a complete picture of its airspace updated in real-time without having to turn its head. Halteres, club-shaped structures behind the wings on either side of the fuselage, stabilise the insect in flight. Halteres oscillate and act like vibrating structure gyroscopes. Any rotation in flight produces a force detected by sensors at their base. The central processor is continually updated on flight dynamics, allowing the insect to change direction instantaneously. All this activity probably explains why this green bottle is having a breather. Short, sparse hairs cover the upper surface of the thorax in rows. The camera with its lens is visible in the reflection. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/dallyingwithdahlias monthly 0.5 2023-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/a783b1f7-2aaf-40ea-9272-ae10f938d960/2023-12-17+18-20-09+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Dallying with Dahlias - Make it stand out Buds and bloom colour bursts brighten your day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/5ae220e0-3f3d-4553-92ec-06336f42d2f4/2023-12-17+18-25-52+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Dallying with Dahlias - Make it stand out Dahlias have composite flower structures.

The forest close to the cafe was destroyed. - Make it stand out Dendrochronolgy, or tree growth ring dating. Basalt rings record the death of a tree that grew on this spot 100,000 years ago. The initial water-driven explosion (phreatomagmatic) blasted ash and mud high into the air. It rained down on the surrounding forest near the cafe. Lava fountaining within the crater built up several small scoria cones, lost as the volcanic activity progressed. Runny lava at 1000 °C flowed through the forest. It chilled and thickened against the trees. The trees were consumed by fire leaving hollow basalt stumps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1688973981866-6EJJX7A1SZQ87K70SQWL/IMG_0762sh+cr+sxc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - A violent volcanic eruption on Takapuna Beach with little warning.

Cylindrical holes are molds of trees or large branches, carried in the flowing lava. This outcrop is along O’Neil Bay. The frothy lava surrounding the light-coloured hole was probably caused by a tree branch cooking in its molten basalt oven. Oval-shaped holes may be large gas blisters, formed by expanding gas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/f5014aab-b6c7-42ed-8197-10cbb5416acf/IMG_5994+cr+br+sh+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - A violent volcanic eruption on Takapuna Beach with little warning.

Rock smashed into tiny pieces by the force of the phreatomagmatic explosion, has settled to form Tuff. Sedimentary rocks and molten basalt were smashed into tiny fragments by the force of the phreatomagmatic explosion. Some of the ash clouds fell directly back into the crater forming a low Tuff ring around the perimeter. The remainder travelled outwards before drowning the forest in scalding hot dust. The weight of airborne material snapped tree branches to be carried away in the runny lava. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/f03babe4-6182-45df-87e6-f6dba06b0a2b/IMG_5966sh+cr+sc+sh+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - A violent volcanic eruption on Takapuna Beach with little warning.

The forest close to the cafe was destroyed. - Make it stand out Gas makes lava more runny. The dark lava filling this crack is filled with gas holes. Analysis of gas bubbles in widespread Jurassic basalts shows that carbon dioxide coming out of solution (exsolution) is a major force driving magma up through the crust from the mantle. Basalts are carbonated just like fizzy drinks and they behave like them too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/53edde1d-b594-4fcb-9f24-660b6e4f4438/a+typical+auckland+volcano.png The Art of Science Blog - A violent volcanic eruption on Takapuna Beach with little warning. The forest close to the cafe was destroyed. - Make it stand out Volcanic Eruptions around Auckland followed a similar pattern. Three eruption styles dominate the Auckland landscape. The style at any particular time depends on the gas content of the magma. A series of explosions caused by rising magma hitting wet sedimentary rocks near the surface announces the start of deadly volcanic activity. Superheated steam and gas, released from the magma, create a giant mushroom cloud of ash and rock fragments that rises high into the atmosphere. Some material falls back, forming a low tuff ring around the exposed crater. The rest surges outwards, scorching and burying everything in its path. Shallow explosion craters, two kilometres in diameter, remain after the dust settles. The volcano has been “uncorked”, and magma can spew over the landscape. The serious business of constructing an Auckland volcano starts in earnest. What happens next depends on the gas content of the basaltic magma reaching the surface. When gas-charged magma flows through the uncorked vent, it froths on the surface. Shaking a bottle with a fizzy drink and then giving it to someone else to open has a similar effect. A bottle of carbonated drink shaken fizzes and makes a mess. Molten basalt is carbonated. When molten basalt with a high gas content froths it’s called lava fountaining. Carbon dioxide is responsible for between 10 and 40 per cent of the gas content in molten basalt. While the lava fountaining part of an Auckland volcano is in progress, a steady stream of red hot magma lumps are sent flying into the air. They cool and fall as brown-coloured scoria, riddled with holes left by escaping gases. Whether relatively short, a few weeks or months, or longer the end result is a steep-sided scoria cone. Drinks lose their fizz and become “flat”. The same thing happens to basalt. When the magma becomes depleted in carbon dioxide, it stops lava fountaining and flows freely on the surface as lava. Phreatomagnetic explosions, scoria cone formation and streams of free-flowing basalt will occur at a postcode too close for comfort if you live in Auckland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/d13bbb89-7edb-4153-a54d-e004095335a6/IMG_5790.JPG The Art of Science Blog - A violent volcanic eruption on Takapuna Beach with little warning.

The organisms adding colour to the thermal activity are cyanobacteria. They are amongst some of the earliest life forms to be found in the fossil record. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1648611234886-IM9OCSB8EOB4ZYWUC3MD/IMG_5138sh+cr+sc+artr.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Mount Tarawera and The Waimangu Valley. - Make it stand out Extremophiles. Extremophiles love extreme conditions; these conditions push survival to the limits. The colours of microbial mats indicate water temperature.

Cyanobacteria, previously known as blue-green algae, are tiny microscopic organisms. 3.5 billion years ago, well before plants appeared, these tiny organisms were responsible for releasing the first oxygen molecules into our atmosphere. They changed the direction of evolution completely during a period of ancient earth history, The Great Oxidation Event. Cyanobacteria survive to this day in the hydrothermal landscape of Waimangu Valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1648611176600-EV0E97P06L6EEUGCOFFB/IMG_5121+sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Mount Tarawera and The Waimangu Valley. - Make it stand out More Steam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/b95b73c8-e356-43bb-ac95-ea0015c13c72/IMG_5180sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Mount Tarawera and The Waimangu Valley. - Make it stand out Inferno Crater; the beating heart of Waimangu.

This model worked well through 40 years of science teaching. Biology was a sideshow; chemistry and the wonders of the Periodic Table was my area of expertise. How pollen emerges from its anther is a wonder to behold. Just a pity it took seventy-plus years before I witnessed it. I realized there was more to the anther story after watching lilies and Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) flowers. Their anthers go through several different stages. Initially, wine-red coloured grooves line each of the twin lobes that form the anther. There is no pollen visible, to begin with. Anthers dehisce or split along a built-in line of weakness, the stomium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/f1f1112a-2a71-4a98-9fd9-bc8656d73321/2023-02-05+17-04-28+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out Anthers are attached to their filament somewhere along their back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/46aaa43a-bce8-48c8-a635-37a181eebf55/2023-02-07+10-04-33+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sg+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out Each wine-coloured groove is a stomium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/ad563c08-6aba-48c9-a714-1645c7a5e18d/2023-02-07+14-07-43+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out The stomium of the middle anther is opening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/f4e4fbfd-30de-4121-ba8e-1a61d94c707b/2023-02-07+14-37-26+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out Opening under pressure from the packed pollen grains, the outer edges of the anther begins to fold back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/e351aaf2-5501-4b75-ae6d-aa4cc5349219/2023-02-07+15-36-50+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out Almost completely folded back on itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/01cc3bcc-9625-4bef-8de0-6082f4aa7102/2023-02-07+16-41-04+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out It takes about 5 hours before the anthers open fully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/b28a8415-c8e6-4672-9bcb-00d8c0a1658c/2023-02-07+16-50-07+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out The inner surface of the anther is now on the outside with pollen attached. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/c1cf913f-3848-4afa-bb63-a1ca5bdd42c3/2023-02-06+13-47-56+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Anthers, a closer look. - Make it stand out Filaments curve upwards, presenting their anthers to incoming insects. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/hippeastrum-emerald monthly 0.5 2023-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1675213788395-WTQ3H69S5CJGET07ER9L/2023-01-24+18-15-54+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+sc+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Hippeastrum Emerald. - Make it stand out Nature didn’t need a colour wheel to select complementary colours.

Conical-shaped cells cover Mandevilla flower surfaces and disperse light; the resulting gloss reduction contributes to the flowers' velvety appearance. Reduced reflected light also highlights the colour released by pigments within the cells. In a neat trick of optics, surface cells also bounce light around internally before releasing it; the reflected light is diffuse. Insects detect a uniform colour intensity, whatever their approach angle, guiding them to their target. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/4e0a1247-485c-4798-99b3-7447542f89ed/2023-03-25+14-10-53+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sh+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Mandevilla vines and their quirky pollination technique. - Make it stand out Not your usual flower structure.

The male and female reproductive parts in orchids fuse into a single structure with a hood-like cover; "The Column." Flowers commonly disperse pollen grains from their anthers. Designed to split open, they spill pollen grains all over the show. The yellow yolk-like structure in view is a pollinium, one of two linked together. Each pollinium is a mass of pollen grains glued together in a single package. Foraging insects fly off with an intact pollinium glued to their undercarriage, ready to love-bomb the next orchid in their flight path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/8481bc18-6ddd-4c71-969d-a706431a22fd/2022-11-09+15-59-49+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Pet plants, Miltoniopsis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/f2ab3338-fe8e-4cfb-9a74-0390d4b8ab1c/2022-11-09+16-06-25+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29+br+cn+cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Pet plants, Miltoniopsis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/2bc98169-a101-43da-ac9e-51678eafe719/2022-11-09+16-39-18+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29sh+cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Pet plants, Miltoniopsis. - Make it stand out Yoohoo little insect, get a load of pollen to dump on the next Miltoniopsis plant you land on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/6d161653-bd62-4b6d-b01f-4bc386535094/2022-11-19+15-21-34+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29sh+cr+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Pet plants, Miltoniopsis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/b3f49c88-e92a-48f0-870b-a75432c61abb/2022-11-19+14-45-17+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29+cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Pet plants, Miltoniopsis. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theartofscience.me/theartofscienceblog/anigozanthos-focus-stacking-helicon-focus monthly 0.5 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/08821929-d87a-4f1f-b93f-3186f47388e7/2022-12-03+16-33-11+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Anigozanthos under the macro; focus stacking with Helicon Focus. - Make it stand out Anigozanthos. The plant has long flowering stems above ground with tuberous roots below. Roots were food for the Noongar people. I'll study the roots later when I finish with the flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1668923394279-NNZ5HUO0X69ZEHL63ZYY/2022-11-20+14-47-04+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Anigozanthos under the macro; focus stacking with Helicon Focus. - Make it stand out Tubular Belles.

I stacked twenty pictures using Helicon Focus software before editing them in GIMP to produce this photo. It takes time, and a single ant scurrying around can appear in focus in multiple shots. A plague of ants in the final stack becomes a distracting focus. The ant was in focus in the ninth of 20 shots.

Birds are attracted to these plants by plentiful supplies of nectar. Six tepals with pointed tips ring the flower’s reproductive system. Built to withstand the urgent attention of thirsty bird life, Anigozanthos are well-designed. Form follows function to perfection, with aesthetics that appeal to humans and birds. Six anthers positioned to fit the heads of feeding birds like a crown anoint their visitors with pollen. The avian pollen courier service drives pollination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/fa42b30c-678f-484f-8254-f1918e179567/2022-12-08+11-48-32+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+msc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Anigozanthos under the macro; focus stacking with Helicon Focus. - Make it stand out Anthers splitting in two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/52809790-1092-4b33-93b8-384045f6515d/2022-12-08+12-04-51+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29cr+sc+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Anigozanthos under the macro; focus stacking with Helicon Focus. - Make it stand out Anthers are attached to the base of each sepal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/9ca04f8d-8c94-48b1-ae89-adaee3ca415f/2022-12-08+12-32-14+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29crmax+sh+art.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Anigozanthos under the macro; focus stacking with Helicon Focus. - Make it stand out Tiny pollen grains on the stigma.

Magnolia flowers evolved 95 years ago during the Cretaceous period. Bees existed then; however, Magnolias evolved with beetles as their preferred pollinator. A tough carpel protects developing buds from clumsy beetles with heavy-duty mandibles. Pollen or plant, beetles are not very fussy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1661219492279-OW1RD61G59XYJ5DOYQTV/IMG_7069+sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Magnficent magnolia tree blossoms - Good to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1661219471064-6KZBS0EMYNSOSWW65P5L/IMG_7067+sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Magnficent magnolia tree blossoms - No leaves, just flowers.

Petals are modified leaves often coloured to attract insects. Sepals are usually green and protect the bud with its developing flower. They often act as a support for the petals. Petals and sepals on magnolia blooms are almost identical and are collectively known as tepals. If confused, just stick with the pretty pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1661219576720-XCY51D6QZ1DX1ZT0BNHT/IMG_7084+sh+cr+sc+art.JPG The Art of Science Blog - Magnficent magnolia tree blossoms - A perfectly formed bloom happy to sit in the sunshine.

The deep blue mound in the centre is a bee magnet. Human retinas are packed with banks of cone-shaped light receptors. Three different types are activated by long, medium or short light wavelengths. (sometimes referred to as red, green and blue cones) We can distinguish a huge range of colours with three types of cone cells, how is this possible? Luckily each cone is sensitive to a range of wavelengths. Activated cone cells send electronic signals through the optic nerve to the brain for processing. The relative input from each type of cone determines what we see as colour. The brain is programmed when we learn our colours in childhood. Bees use the same trick with three different cone types. The light they react to is shifted to shorter wavelengths, green, blue and ultraviolet light. (sensitivity shifted to shorter wavelengths.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/ecc78ffb-acab-4c50-ade2-cc6006fba956/colour+vision+bees+and+humans+AOS.png The Art of Science Blog - Just an anemonic monday. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1629005496289-ANZ197MDTFAG18KA7BCU/2021-08-13+17-00-56+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29sh+crop+2000.jpeg The Art of Science Blog - Just an anemonic monday. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1629004905162-66WKD41RSVKPBQT7KG6Q/2021-08-15+15-37-37+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29+%283%29+sh+sc+sh+sc.png The Art of Science Blog - Just an anemonic monday. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1629005775677-3OJDCDQEL3GJP1AZ61WG/2021-08-14+16-08-41+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29sh+sc+com9.jpeg The Art of Science Blog - Just an anemonic monday. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1629092864106-UE0HLNFEZ9SFPCFZRGO3/2021-08-16+07-29-44+%28B%2CRadius8%2CSmoothing4%29sc+100.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Just an anemonic monday. - Make it stand out It takes about a week for the petals to develop their colour.

The story of Paku involves an eight million year building project. It started with two crustal plates grinding relentlessly past each other. Chapter one opens eight million years ago, with an explosive eruption that blew pumice and ash from a fissure, leaving a vent surrounded by ignimbrite and breccia. Chapter two begins with rhyolite lava squeezing through the fissure into the surrounding ignimbrite, building a rhyolite dome. Two massive crustal plates locked in an eight million year slow-motion collision generate large quantities of energy. In chapter three of Paku history, a violent eruption cleared the vent and rhyolite lava was free to flow over existing structures. A new dome forms, crowning the original. Towards the end of the chapter, the sticky lava mess cools and solidifies. Eventually, the lava in the fissure solidifies, plugging the vent ending a violent period of history. Chapter four tells the story of global warming. It lasts 20,000 years, taking us to the present day. Chapter five begins with another round of global warming. The ending lies in an uncertain future as we attempt to halt its progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1636057762914-OQW3ZWUPO99H6ACDNL2N/IMG_3182sh%252Bcr%252Bsc.jpg The Art of Science Blog - Paku on the Coromandel - Tairua, two tides. Nearing the end of the last ice age, about 20,000 years ago, Tairua was a broad river valley far from the coast. Global warming released an immense volume of water from the polar ice caps, while sea levels rose as much as 120 metres. Sea levels rose at a rate of 10 metres every century and reached their current peak about 6,500 years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b6a1a0c1755ee867eefc/1635202387746-LK7IMSF14NHFWPCY4FUF/IMG_3207_1+sh+cr+sc.png The Art of Science Blog - Paku on the Coromandel - Vanishing Volcanoes.
