When seen from below by a predator, the animal's light helps to match its brightness and colour to the sea surface above. Counter-illumination is a method of active camouflage seen in marine animals such as firefly squid and midshipman fish, and in military prototypes, producing light to match their backgrounds. Marine animals of the mesopelagic (mid-water) zone tend to appear dark against the bright water surface when seen from below.
A landscape is usually made up of a hardscape and a softscape which means the trees, plants and grass. The use of boulders, tiles, sculptures, walkways or bird baths can be used to create a beautiful sitting area, a place for entertaining guests, or an outdoor cooking space.
The Xeriscape Demonstration Garden at the headquarters of Denver Water in Denver, Colorado. Xeriscaping (often incorrectly spelled zero-scaping or xeroscaping) is landscaping and gardening that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation.lants whose natural requirements are appropriate to the local climate are emphasized, and care is taken to avoid losing water to evaporation and run-off. The specific plants used in xeriscaping depend upon the climate.
