DNA

Its been a week of DNA in Grade 9 Science.  Notes on DNA, youtube clips on DNA, cut and paste DNA, DNA quiz and for homework DNA models.
The kids were very creative in the materials they used to make their models, Raphael recycled his sister jewelry, EJ, cut up playing cards, Monica used marshmellows, Gabby and Hong Luk used straws and my favourite was Yuma who made his from small origami paper balloons.

Mungilli Claypans II

Light on the  water amongst the reeds.

Tuesday Temple with a Rainbow

A bright rainbow over the local temple Wat Ammon, last week as a precursor to a thunderstorm.

Lotus seller by the Mekong

Flowers for offerings at temples being sold by the Mekong in downtown Vientiane. I love the lotus buds.

Water everywhere.

The Mekong is brimming to the banks at the moment and with all the rain the rice paddies are brimming with water too.

Full River

Due to the heavy and frequent rain the Mekong is full to its banks at the moment.

Mungilli Claypans 1

Its not Laos! It's the Gibson Desert.

I have been looking through the photos I took while on my trip through the desert and have decided to break up the next few weeks with images taken at Mungilli Claypans on the Gunbarrell Highway.
