Geography Lesson by Brian Patten
YOU have to read it here as I can’t reproduce it.
Sweet-scented jasmine clambering up the walls,
and green leaves burning on an orange tree…I travel to where the green leaves burn,
To where the ocean’s glass-clear and blue,
To places our teacher taught me to love –
And which he never knew.
Very lovely.

The rocks upon which we viewed the dolphins
Storm brewing over the Mekong, on the Lao/Cambodian border
We escaped the storm just in time.
Pictures from dolphin-viewing last month.
