There's a time of the day, 
 
When the sun hits the waves.

 And the world seems to shimmer with light.

 Every leaf shines as the breeze intertwines

 In this dance between morning and night.

 Midday is the time when I hide in the shade.

 Protecting my skin from the heat. 
 

 As the sun plays

With the leaves and the waves.

The shadows are a welcome retreat.

Morning on Culebra

 Sometimes the morning light is so beautiful that it beggs me to take photos out of a moving car...

 And drags me to the beach!

Culebra's New Gas Station is OPEN!

No more giant lines and boaters have access again!

On the right is the new owner Enid Amaro and her cousin Yvette Rodriguez Sanchez

                                                    Good news travels fast,

Even the iguanas had to check it out! 

I know you would think there should be a line here but the power was out so Culebra was still waiting.

So I want all my friends from Fajardo who haven't been able to visit using gas as a their reason, to drop it and pull anchor.  No more excuses!

Don't give up on Lili's.  She even lowered her prices.

Flamboyans Everywhere!!!

The Flamboyans are in bloom and they are adding their magic 

to the spell that is cast by  Isla Bonita!

 

Everywhere you look vibrant colors are leaping out of layers and layers of green.  

Like giant carpets of color draped about to dry in the sun,

 These beautiful trees line the roads and speckle the hills with splashes of red, yellow and orange.

 

 

Notice the giant seed pods dangling in this tree.    As a family prodject Tenor, Ken and I gathered these pods by the hundreds.   Each pod holds from 15 - 30 Seeds. 

Once the rainy season started we soaked the pods in water to break them open and we drove from Flamenco to Zoni tossing seeds deep into the brush.

Tenor with his learners permit did the driving!

  Our hope is to line the roads with SHADE!!!

Fun With Pelicans

  An unusual bird is the Pelican.   

 

His beak can hold more then his belly can.
