I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Yes, it looks like it needs some blood in its system.. at which point however, it'll grow to 20 times its size 😉
Hmmm
Why did she got blue after this?
+Heiko Mahr It tried but didn't succeed, so stayed blue. As +Jetski Jones commented it would grow 20x if it got any blood.
Oh great! Alien bloodsuckers. Watch them take up residence in MN!
And to think we wanted to find biology compatible with ours — not looking so clever now. Great image!
