Gerbera Daisy Fasciation
Fasciated stems are produced due to abnormal activity in the growing tip
of the plant. Often an abnormal number of flowers are produced on
affected stems. Normal branches may arise from fasciated stems.

Albino Eyes
A common myth is that people with albinism have red eyes. In fact there
are different types of albinism and the amount of pigment in the eyes
varies. Although some individuals with albinism have reddish or violet
eyes, most have blue eyes. Some have hazel or brown eyes. However, all
forms of albinism are associated with vision problems.

Fire Aftermath: Carcass Hangs from a Tree
It has been six years now since the massive Griffith Park fire. In 2007, in a very short period of time, the blaze ripped through Los Angeles' beloved outdoor space,
charring 800 acres. After the fire settled, photographer Colin Brown
took a walk with his dog and photographed what he saw. The images are
haunting, sad and unexpected. One of Colin's most recognized photos of the blaze is below — a deer, hanging by its antlers from the branch of a tree.
