Random Pictures

Marcos falls asleep in his high chair every lunch and supper...every time.  It just so happened that this time, his plate had a bunch of food on it.  I guess it could be like a pillow.
Ants are taking apart pieces of soap.  Ants take apart everything down here.  They are very helpful cleaners, if you want to be optimistic.  Leave anything out with the slightest hint of flavor or aroma (even wet shoes outside to dry) and it will be in a similar condition as this soap within minutes.
Big ugly bug.  Never seen it before and hope to never see it again.  It was a 6 a.m. surprise.  I think the dogs tried to eat it and got it very wounded...temporarily.  It was moving its head around.  Veronica wanted to hold it.  I wanted to erase it from my memory, personally.  This picture does not do justice to its terrifying size.  It was 10 times bigger than it looks.

Our beloved guacamayos (you might refer to them as mccaws?...something like that).  Since the passing of the man who took care of them next door, they have joined us on our side of the fence.  They were just taken away today...for good.  I actually will miss them, even though their squacks were unnecessarily loud, they would occasionally attack us, they ruined every coconut tree they hung out in and took out some of the roofing on the public bathrooms.  They were beautiful birds.

Shame little Marcus is precious. makes me remember a moment in each of my children's times of crashing from the full days that made them also collapse at meal-times....

Awh....the Ants....Wow! Nothing like having a bit of too much attention from an insect.

This beetle actually is beautifully colored!...It looks big here. I can't imagine it being bigger....Goodness.

The McCaws...shame they are really beautiful. They look quite large also. Wow! Such Green.....;0
