Early Morning in Newport’s Bayfront
Keeping an eye out for his pride
Seeing the Rainbow from Tunnel View
With kudos to our tour guide, who got us to Tunnel View just in time to see the light hitting the waterfall at just the right angle, and to my wife for reminding me to take off my prescription sunglasses when I couldn’t actually see the rainbow. (They are polarized, hence there was no rainbow when I first looked out on Tunnel View!)
Couple of Zebras
Interesting fact overheard from presentation at Taronga Zoo. Zebra mothers and babies memorize the unique stripe patterns on each other almost immediately and can pick each other out of a crowd of zebras easily very soon after birth.
A zebra’s stripes also act as a cooling mechanism, and as a fly repellent. (The surface looks very confusing to a fly, they have trouble landing on zebras.)
