| The sinuous trunks and branches can withstand high winds. These curves are the result of Hurricane Iris 20 years ago. |
2. Papaya Tree - one of many volunteers. You can see that the birds visit this one. I have seen brown jays, yellow headed parrots, and Montezuma oropendolas feasting on its fruits.

3. Clove, - at around 75 lbs, she is the smaller of our two dogs.

That's it for today; just trying to keep the momentum up.
I've come over to your blog from Mitch's. I always enjoy the comments you leave for him and was delighted to read that you would be blogging from Belize. It's a place which has always fascinated me. So beautiful from all the photos I've seen, but with a certain undercurrent of danger and intrigue. Clove is a beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteSheila - how nice to have you visit! I am back to blogging because of Mitchell; he's a good influence, isn't he? Hope to see you again.
ReplyDeleteClove is a beauty. So are the trees. Do you get your own papayas or is it all “for the birds”?
ReplyDeleteThe birds get most of the papayas, especially from the taller trees. But we get our share! We recently got some net bags to put over individual fruit as they ripen on the tree. Now all we have to do is use them!
DeleteTrees visited by birds, papaya fruit, and Clove - an unbeatable trio!
ReplyDeleteHi Duta! Welcome back - can't believe you found me again. Yes, it is a pretty sweet deal.
