In Australia we don't just have the usual sort of Rainbow that adorns the sky, nor do we just have the Rainbow Serpent who shaped the land in the Dreamtime. We also of shards of Rainbow that flitter from tree to tree, shrieking their news and gathering in huge flocks in the evenings. The part of the Rainbow Lorikeet that best shows of their colours in rainbow sequence is just under the wing.

This is a picture I took this week end. I showed a giant swallow hole to my wife for her birthday, and to "close" our earth study of the bardic grade. It's called "Aven d'Orgnac", and it's in Ardèche, France. It's is said that it's the biggest and most impressive cave in Europe.
We were walking with a guide, 120 m under the surface, watching silently those massive stalactites and stalagmites while he exlpained there origins. Mother Earth has still some treasures to show us...

This is one of the last columns, and it's still in activity. We couldn't approch this one. The guide told us than distances are very easily distorted under earth, and this one measured in fact several dozen meters high ! To give you an idea, the little rock behind the column which seems to say hello is 100 m from us...

"In Wait"

I spent a lot of time looking at small animals and plants this year. This is a photo of a stick mantis in Florida, USA.
