Complimentary Blueberry Juice

Something that consistently blows my mind about the natural world is flight.

There are no pilots,

no training programs,

no fossil fuels,

yet capable of feats and actions that no amount of engineering can solve.

One of the things I love most about nature is that the human equivalent for what nature already designed always proves to be deeply flawed and limited.

There is no drone or robot that could possibly replicate what variables a Tree Swallow processes along a 100-metre landing approach to a vertical landing spot less than 4cm wide for $0. Here’s a second video at 1/18th speed of just that.

These Tree Swallows are a real treat to watch every day!

Humans perceive the world in a really limited way. We think we’re good at things, but there’s a big part of nature that is often completely invisible to us. It may be incredibly small or so fast we barely register it.

All these beautiful things around us, everywhere, all the time.

What can we learn from all of it?
