When we observe nature, we are impressed by mosquitos and other small insects that can walk on water but are drawn into the water when detergents (soaps) are added in their neighbourhood. We are fascinated by the spherical shape of water and even more by the mercury droplets that can roU around without wetting anything. We know that for the same reasons we should use plastic raincoats when it is raining. We are also impressed by some of natural wonders like the delta created by rivers when they meet the sea and the non-sticky wings and leaves of butterflies, lotus and some other insects and plants. We are also fascinated by the blue colour of the sky and the red colour of the sunset.
