The end of the rainbow

September 11, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Recently, the langur park residents were treated to a somewhat unusual sight – a double rainbow.  The second one is there, look closely.  You should be able to see that the fainter rainbow’s colors are in reverse order of the brighter one.

Seeing the rainbows evoked a favorite song of mine by Richard Thompson.  Hope it brightens your day.

Heartbeat from Sanniangwan

From the complete lack of posts in the last six weeks, you may have assumed that I was either having the time of my life or dead.  Wrong on both counts, unfortunately.   I’ve just been busy.  Busy doing what?  I’m not sure, I don’t feel like I have much to show for my efforts.

I’ve spent most of the time at Sanniangwan, a small, shallow water bay located near the city of Qinzhou in Guangxi Autonomous Region, China.  When the weather and water conditions are good, we take a speedboat into the bay and observe the local population of Chinese white dolphins.  The photo above shows a group of three young dolphins who were in an especially playful mood that day.  More substantial posts to come!
