winter, not exactly
So as winter is holding the world around me in a white grasp some think already of spring... But how to define the spring beginning? Is it the first warm ray of the sun? is it the first freshly grown grass? Is it a bird looking for a first stick for a new nest? Or maybe a first butterfly looking for the first flower...

Cotton, as you don't know it :)
Here is some coton plant sliced and viewed under a microscope.
Cotton, Genus: Gossypium it is a shrub up to 3 m high. It has supplied the human kind with fabric material since thousand of years. Normally you imagine cotton as a fruit of a cotton plant, lump of fibers, fluffy and soft. Here I would like to introduce to you the "inside" of this plant. On presented migrograph you can see: top left, how a cotton plant looks like in macroscale, top right it is a section through a stem of a cotton plant, lower left a leaf section showing some chlorofil (the green stuff) and a middle "nerve" of the leaf, lower right is the leaf. To me this picture shows the beauty of plants that can be find within, I mean if you slice them and review under the microscope ;) Plants can reveal a different kind of beauty appart of their flashy flowers and soductive smell.

so this is some of my stuff
The picture you can see above is something I thought of while working. By "profession" I'm a scientist/researcher, and while isolating RNA I noticed this beautiful colors. These shades are due to extracting from different plant parts, aren't they beautiful? So there is art in science, waiting for being noticed :)
the begginings
So "hi" my name is Anna (for some also as Ania or Andzia). So I look for some new to make in life and I decided to start a blog that tells a tale of my beyond professional life interests. I hope soon I will pick up on what blogs are all about and be a functional member of the world wide community of blogers. I only have one scare that blogs as this one dye slow and unnoticed death because they do not treat about any "hot stuff". Here there will be rather no news (unless an interesting social event), or "I have a recipe for life" things , or 10001 unswers for 101 questions (yes, yesm there is no typo there ;) . Lets just see how this little blog develops. c ya and hopefully happy visitting!
