Thanks for the fascinating link, Peter.
The early watchmakers were amazing. First, simply to have figured all this out was an incredible feat. Then to have actually created and assembled the often tiny parts given the limited technology of the times seems to have been impossible.
Moving from the ingenuity of man to nature's awe-inspiring ability to create functional, and adaptable living things, here is a shot of some of the developing berries my wife is tending.
A lot of clever design (employing sophisticated mathematical principles) here to arrive at, for example, the most efficient arrangement of structures (consider how these small berries are arranged - it looks to me that the design allows the berries to be as densely-packed as possible while simultaneously leaving enough space for them to grow to their optimal size.
And as a bonus, they are beautiful.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
