we were supposed to have internet in Danum, but alas, lightning struck and took it all out. But it's back!! Travel has been good, though it's quite rainy here. There have been more leeches and biting things than you can count, not much of a tan, but still having a blast.
Here are a few pics of the past week.
Stephanie and Nathan checking out birds near the Sepilok B&B
The trees here are amazing... there are so many species they're discussed as families, perhaps as a genus, but rarely as a species. For non-scientific types, that's like discussing people by their last name only, because there are so many you can't possibly know all of their first names. Here's a beautiful tree of the Dipterocarp family. This is the dominant tree family in southeast Asian rainforests. They grow up above the top of the canopy and have this beautiful, almost cauliflower-like form.

so it turns out that Roman is a master lizard catcher, this one is an agamid.
