Amazing Peacock - A gorgeous appearance

A peacock in full plumage is surely among the most beautiful and spectacular pheasants in the world. This gorgeous peacock is a larger, higher standing, and brighter bird with a long, straight crest.

Because of their gorgeous appearance, the peacock has long been famous outside of its native countries of Southern Asia and Malaysia, and was kept for centuries by people first in China and then in Europe. The Phoenicians brought the peacock to Egypt more than three thousand years ago. Peacock feathers are popularly used in unique crafts and decorations.

Amazing Beauty - Flower power

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock. Flowers are words which even a babe may understand, so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children honoured as the jewellery of God only by them. Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character.

Amazing Bettle - Volkswagen on a plate

The Volkswagen more commonly known as the Beetle or Bug, is a car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen in 1938. Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August of 1967 that VW itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain VW never used the name Beetle officially.

The Beetle outlasted most other automobiles which had copied the classic rear air-cooled engine layout. The Beetle is also one of the most commonly reproduced cars as a toy or model of all sizes. Even the sighting of a Volkswagen Beetle is cause for violent fun in the car-sighting game known as "Slug-Bug" or Punch Buggy.

Amazing Insect - Mad about a bee

Everybody knows that bees have stings in their tails, are meticulous in constructing their homes, dance to communicate with each other and do all they need to do in life in about six weeks. Do you know that bees have an acute sense of smell. are good navigators and can remember where they last had a meal.

Bees are the Rolls Royce of the insect world due to their amazing brain which is the size of a sesame seed but is 20 times the size of a fruit fly. The bees' brains rely on a small range of compounds to sort floral scents and their odour receptors can detect even the smallest scent molecule in the air. They can distinguish between hundreds of different aromas and also tell whether a flower is carrying pollen or nectar by sniffing its scent from metres away. They navigate by smell, colour and distance.

The scent triggers navigational memories of where to go and what the colour of the flower will be.... a bit like a whiff of cologne might remind you of someone you knew a long time ago.

Yes..... I know the smell of my darling....do you?
