Hello again –
finally back. We’ve been busy and I have just not been in the writing mood –
but must have got a good nights sleep last night and so many weird things
happened yesterday I want to share. We actually stayed home all day and the weather
was cooler than usual and cloudy overcast all day and actually rained a tiny
bit late last night.
First thing
yesterday morning we had a "want to be" visitor – this guy showed up looking in
the windshield. He is a big thing. I forget what they call them here but we can
always here them chattering in the morning.
Here is another
shot of him to give you some estimate of his size. This is the first time I
actually saw one. He is about two feet from head to tail. And much bluer than the picture shows.
Then last evening
I heard our neighbor yelling at me to come outside and see the rainbow. It was
not raining and had not been raining. So out I went with camera in hand and
managed to get a couple of half way decent picture of it. The rainbow was to
our east behind the campground. What a surprise – just so much moisture in the
air I guess and the low setting sun.
Then I turned around
and looked west to be greeted by this magnificent sunset. Spectacular. Guess it contributed to the rainbow.
Bill had come out to see the light show and was wandering around the RV park - he stopped looked at something and called to us – he’d found an
iguana. Such excitement.
This morning it is kind of cloudy and very dark over the water - so don't know what kind of day to expect. The wind was blowing quite hard for a while but has stopped now.
I really have to
catch up on my posting. We’ve been to Malpica to the bakery, to Concordia for
ice cream cones and to watch the ladies do their laundry. Also out for ribs and
to the Plazuela Machado twice for dinner and music. And I still haven’t posted
pictures of Cosala. Bill said I’ve been letting my job slip. Guess I have.
So I’m going to
post this and start working on the pictures from Cosala – they really need to
be shared it is such a beautiful town.
Sometimes a blog break is nice! Great pics - strange rainbow! Hey - an iguana like ours…. interesting bird.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! The bird is called a Magpie Jay and they are something to see and watch - love how they sort of hop sideways. Last year when we stayed at Las Jaibas we fed them every morning using what ever we had. Corn flakes and bought the white Bimbo bread slices, torn into smaller pieces they would stuff there beaks as full as they could and fly to the fence to eat. Bought bird seed but they seemed to like the bread better. They are noisy and would wake us up if I did not have the bread out in a timely manner. Our neighbor, Jim, also fed them. I bought a bowl and filled it with sugar water for the Baltimore Orioles who demanded a refill a couple times a day. enjoyed that very much - feed those Jays and enjoy watching the show they will provide.
