That ancient tree! - the mountains! - the mist!
Breathtaking, all of it! 
No wonder you're not using words...

What a great photo Rudi - dancing alien robots

[Muffin]

We have two of these aliens living around the house. Sometimes they come up to the porch or stairs and when we walk there they run away.
Sideways.

Our own private lake.




The not so private river - at evening and morning.



The garden in front of the restaurant, and the "yoga" hall.




The view from the volunteer's house and my resting "device".

[Nichi]

The chair on the deck... very peaceful.

everything is green

I hope the bird sings when you are around with your camera 

[Muffin]

The birds always sing. I've been trying to make a decent recording. The background noise is all the nature. It's never quite around here.

Heaven!
I love recordings like that - used to try to make them, once upon a time.
What's neat is listening to them respond to each other... you hear some of that
towards the beginning of yours.

Very pleasant!

The River


Ancient Tree


View of the Region


Breadfruit tree - with a texture similar to potato when cooked, tastes like eggs and bacon


Kayaking on a small river


Chooping down a sickly banana after harvesting its fruit. Bananas give fruit only once then die and new stems grow in their place as seen in the pictures.


Moth - they come out in the night, this one's a rather large exemplar. He was fine after I let him go.






Dead bird - This was not so lucky, I found it on the road. Often we get to see these birds around the house, green, scarlet, blue. This is the closest I could get to one with my camera.


Forest - wild, uncultivated, untouched - except a small trail.

[Nichi]

Aw, that's too bad about that bird.

Great pictures, Rudi.

[Michael]

Thanks - always great to see the place and it's creatures. You are looking very tough now Rudi.
What about spiders and snakes?
