With my binoculars in tow, I am all OVER this place, peeking into crevices, peering into holes, gazing up into tree limbs, and look what I saw this morning! Probably a three toed sloth, nestled cozily into the crook of the tree branches. Can you imagine sleeping that way?
This the chorus line in the mornings up on our telephone wires; the third one from the left seems to feel she has to clean up the second one...
This is the countryside as I drove down to Bejuco from the airport; the lush greens indicate that it is, indeed, the rainy season.
The hummingbird feeder is up, I have tons of orchids I have attached to the almond tree and outside my bedroom window because the mujer de la noche apparently smells heavenly at night but not at all during the day. I can't wait to come back and see if it is blooming yet! Today I may put up the hammock because it doesn't look like the rains will overwhelm us; however, it is the rainy season, and anything goes. The butterflies are prolific now, and the sounds of the birds in the mornings and evenings are so loud that I am driven out to see who is singing. It is magical to watch them sing their songs, see their little beaks moving to the song. Fascinating. Today is a chore day, reading to the school children, shopping for dinner for friends, and buying yet another clothes line; where DO they go each time I leave?
