I was drawn to the photograph on page 11 while flipping through the pages of the Sept. 17 issue. At first glance, I thought it was an Impressionist painting of a little girl following her grandmother in a forest filled with colorful spring flowers and swarming with butterflies. Only when I had read the article associated with the photo did I find out it was an image showing distribution of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in shipworm gills. What a feast for the eyes!
