One for the Road

More catch up today with the last of Becki's visit.  We went out into Black Creek in the kayaks one morning.  It was a lovely day with beautiful sunshine, but not too hot.  Black Creek is really a tidal lagoon fed by a couple of small fresh water streams.  Black Creek lagoon is behind our property and we have a little landing there for boat access; sort of a back entrance to our property.  The lagoon is usually very calm and flat - perfect for Becki's first time in a kayak.

Perfect morning on Black Creek lagoon.

She's a natural!  We explored the entire lagoon, spotting moon jelly fish gently pulsating through the tea-colored water, white ibises feeding back in the mangroves, bare-throated tiger herons pretending not to be there, chattering kingfishers annoyed by our presence, shadowy tarpons zooming up out of the deep spots.  It is a magical place.

Venturing up a small feeder creek.

Back on dry land, we did some container gardening on the back veranda under the protection of the shade cloth.

Lettuce in the foreground, Becki is planting the shishito peppers.

This little pepper plant and its mate are still growing strong 13 months later.  More peppers than I can count.

Much too soon, it was time for Becki to leave us.  But first a beer flight of local brews before her flight home.

At Di Bruwry on Airport Road.  Home of Belikin beer and more!

I'll close this post out with the ever popular sunrises and rainbows - no words necessary.
