We have been really busy at the hospital, so we are looking forward to compiling photos from our trip to Ream National Park and a couple of trips to the top of Bokor Mountain and the old (haunted?) casino and church. We also supported a children's health day where we had 120 school children at the hospital for health screenings. The hospital also gave away many dozens of bikes for poor families so that their children could better attend school. You will also get a copy of Tod's toothbrush song that he composed to help the kids learn more about brushing. But until then, here are some shots of the amazing sunsets, critters, and flora of the region.
First the sunsets - all from our bungalow:
Critters as they let me capture them. The grasshopper is our favorite shot.
First, a big beetle.
A centipede that is actually poisonous (as many are). These are common sights. They can get quite large (6 - 12 inches) and their bite is very painful and can cause nasty localized swelling.
Leap'n Lizards! This is as close as I got. He bounded away after I tried a closer shot. Not bad for an iPhone 3.
Green Mantis at night by our back door.
We are especially proud of these two of the grasshopper taken with our Nikon Coolpix.
Flowering trees in the hospital courtyard:
Lotus flowers in our pond.
We don't know these, but they bloom from a planted creeping vine
This is an iPhone shot out our front door of a downpour. Notice the amount and velocity of the water leaving the large white downspout in the lower left of the picture!
