MicroBiology


I don't know if I should even tell you what this is. It's not mine, that's for sure. But you can't get between a little girl and her curiousity. My friend "Dharma" brought over her daughter "Rain" and Rain would like to be a biologist someday. We spent the good part of the afternoon playing with the microscope. We looked at fly innards, a mushroom from the yard (it really had things swimming in it), dog hair, a beetle's wing, some fungus, an ant we killed with some mosquito repellant and Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum (cause it seemed stinky and poisonous and she promised she wouldn't lick her fingers), a paper towel, and some spores from a very rotten apple. It was all very enlightening and fun.
