Shoe Sharing

This is my morning friend with whom I share a shoe.  He gets cozy in the toe of my old running shoes that I leave outside, and I just have to be careful that I gently dump him out when I need to put the shoes on.  The other day, however, I shook the shoes to make sure he wasn't in their, pulled the left shoe on, and felt something against my toe.  Sure enough that little fellow had hung on tight, hoping he didn't have to dismount as it were.  When I left, he tucked himself right up into the corner of the door and waited for me to return.  Okay, so maybe he isn't Shadow, dog friend extraordinaire, but he does seem to be an animal friend, and that counts for something!
I just went outside to see if I could catch a photo of at least his little eyes in the bottom of my shoe, but I didn't want to force him out if he's tucked nicely inside.  My neighbor came by yesterday and said, "Eew, what if he pees in your shoe?"  Quite frankly, that wasn't on my mind!  I'm just happy that I didn't jam my feet into those shoes and return with mashed froggie inside the shoe!!

When I was walking yesterday, I saw this Macaw, who was just sitting up on that branch screeching to its mate across on he other tree; he was there long enough for me to get a photo, but it is unusual to see them this far from their mates with whom they mate for life, probably explaining why she shriek at one another ALL the TIME!!

This fellow was just stopped near a little estuary, and I couldn't figure out what he was doing; the horse wasn't drinking, and the rider seemed just to sit there.  Once I walked ahead of him and looked back, I could see that the man was on his CELL PHONE.  Where are we?

An early morning shot of my "eco-coche" and the edge of a palm - one of the many, many that seem to have some sort of disease or infestation.  A sadness for sure, but now I can think of something else I want to put in the front for cover.  Of course, the wet toilet paper tree is flourishing!
