Wow, this post is totally off topic, but I thought everyone might want to see the beauty which photography can reveal. Who would have known??
“Viewed at a magnification of over 250 times real life, tiny grains of sand are shown to be delicate, colorful structures as unique as snowflakes. When seen well beyond the limits of human eyesight, the miniature particles are exposed as fragments of crystals, spiral fragments of shells and crumbs of volcanic rock.”
Note that they are as individualistic and as interesting as people or coyotes if you’re willing to look hard enough!!
