A good morning from Guam photo

My former colleague of the Math Department of Mathematics in the University of the Philippines at Diliman, Q.C. is teaching in Guam, an island outpost of the United States.
Guam has the pacific ocean all around and sunrises and sun sets are simply spectacular in this part of the world.

The last multispectral satellite image from JTWC?

I was debugging my weather page automated data gathering script. I noticed that the multispectral image is not available anymore(?). I am not sure but I am presenting a saved image of the current typhoon Trami (international code name) locally known as tropicl storm Maring.




Spoke too soon! Another new multispectral photo just came in.


I sure wish it is just a temporary problem. The JTWC serves the armed forces of the USA in the Pacific, but its FREELY available web resources helps our viewers get a much more broad picture of any current local weather disturbance.

August 21, the photo was updated. We are glad it was a temporary problem.

Silver Dollar fish gets a new big tank.

It is four feet long, 1 1/2 foot wide and 2 feet high. The water is so clean now that I was glad to catch its big mouth out front. The silver dollar fish is a gentle relative of the pacu and piranha.




All photos taken with the Fujifilm HS25EXR camera. The aquariums are tended to by my brother Engr. Danny Adorio.

It is deja vu again. Moonsoon floods. Photos of flooded areas from friends and the press.

A tree with big wide leaves

Plants with leaves like these are the jathropha curcas, but the jatropha is not a strong plant to carry a child. Looks now like a bodhi tree (rosary fig tree) to me.

Birds, secretary bird (Not! It is a grey crowned crane.)

My Facebook friend Vivian dVivian based in Germany, has posted this photo of a magnificent secretary bird.



The photo is of a more colorful specie than the one showing in the following

No wonder, I just learned it is not a secrretary bird!

A gentle reader wrote that the bird is actually a grey crowned crane. Thanks again for the correction, it is a very magnificent looking bird.
