And that's what you can see with a point and shoot
camera and the naked eye.
That's what you can see with a high speed
shooter and multiple flashes and a lifetime's devotion.
Isn't that gymnastic?
I really like what she does.
That one's called the snowcap.
Those are the poison dart frogs, ranitas.
And that's what an artist thought
about when he saw the poison dart frog, or she.
This guy was so amazing.
We estimate that if he were stretched out full length,
he'd be about a little bit taller than I am.
I didn't blame these guys for cooling off,
but look what was around the next bend.
Time for siesta.
Lots of people taking siestas.
Here's another great word for you, murciélagos.
Isn't that fun to say?
And some of them fish.
And that's what an artist's idea of the bats are,
and I like that they have crocodiles under their wings.
They look like jewelry, but they're all butterflies
waiting to happen.
This is a particular kind of butterfly
that is very good at camouflage, and when it opens up
it looks like that.
"Blue Morpho."
At rest, false eyes spot us, your legs
tasting half fermented mango, rippling proboscis
sipping rancid juice.
One startled slash, bright shimmer, ocean 60 feet down,
earth seen from space, longing held too long,
song of one long gone, that blue.
Not what you absorb but what you can't take in.
That's what we see of your beauty.
