Playful Exotic Birds Made of Flower Petals — Red Hong Yi's
Artist Hong Yi, aka Red, is back with another fun project that, this time, turns flower petals into birds. After her playful 31-day Creativity with Food series was completed, the imaginative artist continued to take on various projects, but it seems she has developed yet another wonderful collection of cleverly crafted images.
The flower-bird series follows in Red's tradition of making something incredibly creative from unconventional materials. Sharing the images through her Instagram account, the project came to her organically. It began as a mandala using flowers picked from her garden back in Malaysia and evolved through an ode to Banksy and support for Turkey into a bird.

Millionaire's house has 165 foot aquarium fence
Mehmet Ali Gökçeoglu is a Turkish business man with plenty of cash and some very interesting tastes. He made the decision his fence looked to unwelcoming, boring, ugly, and ripped it out and had it replaced with a 165 foot long aquarium fence that encircles his entire yard. The aquarium is stocked with massive amounts of fish, a cleaning and filtration system, and provides a security wall that is beautiful, but probably not secure. The offset the reduction in security Mehmet installed cameras, added security features, and has the fence monitored around the clock. This is not Mehmet’s only venture into incredible aquariums. The wall is impressive, but the concept continues on into his home, which you can learn more about by visiting his Facebook page.

Extraordinary Photographs of Animals Inside the Womb
The experience of most detailed embryonic animal photographs ever taken. Using revolutionary four-dimensional scanning technology, scientists have shed light on the world of animals inside the womb, including that of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, and elephants. The images are from a National Geographic Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb” and were captured by using a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and small cameras to document the animals’ development from conception to birth. The documentary serves as “testimony to the strong relatedness of all mammals.”
The documentary specifically explores the Shark and how its cannibalistic embryos must eat their own brothers to survive; the Emperor Penguin and its egg-bound chicks that must battle the coldest weather on the planet; the Kangaroo and its underdeveloped young who will undergo an exceptionally premature birth; and the Parasitic Wasp whose larvae must hijack and exploit the body of another creature to survive.
