For the "Arches" challenge, I decided to find a picture of a rainbow over a field. And, since today (7/14/25) is "World Chimpanzee Day," I decided to add another picture I found of the "three wise monkeys, a Japanese pictorial maxim, embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." The three monkeys are named Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru (seen at the top of the rainbow, left to right.) I gave them some animal companions to fill out the layout. From left as looking at the picture: Colo, first gorilla to be born in captivity anywhere in the world. She was born at the Columbus, OH zoo, hence her name. A lizard, who wants to be in a Geico commercial is having a "leaf snack" while climbing up the rainbow to celebrate the chimps and their "day." A toucan just flew by and landed to see what the whole thing was all about. And an orang was disturbed while looking for that pot of gold. In the corner, wearing the "gold & black" uniform of soccer's Columbus Crew2 is "Cappy Bara" a Capybara, which is the world's largest rodent, and "mascot" for my favorite soccer team!
