I'm back home now after a month in Bhutan. Still have a few terabytes of pix and vids to crunch. Feeling a little "all at sea", with my head still stuck somewhere between the Himalayas and home.
These fellas were more interested in licking rocks, for salt or minerals or whatever, than flying away from my lens. A real treat for my walk this morning.
I want to tell a little story about a stupa in Bhutan called Chendibji, a beautiful place I have visited many times but has a sad story.
It's a special place for Bhutanese, a spiritual place surrounded by wild forests. Recently they restored the stupa and chorten and installed immense flood lights to illuminate at night.
Some days you just see the same species over and over, as though somebody cleaned your glasses and suddenly the things that were right in front of you are clear to see.
One of those teeny tiny little butterflies that might be a sapphire or might not and my only reference for Bhutanese blues doesn't actually show the upper wings for most of the species.
I do love how every flash of blue fluttering by could be something totally new to my eyes.
Big day in Wangdue Phodrang Dzong on Friday. Locals turning up for special blessings and wearing their finest. Bhutanese know how to bling it up for the Buddha.
At least seven people were killed and 16 others missing in Bhutan after flash floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains washed away a section of a small hydroelectric plant on Thursday, local media reported.
