Don Rohelio is easily the "character of the week" Posted by Picasa

I regularly carry our neighbors the Lobos family home as I find them walking along Farmer's Road - they are good neighbors. L - to - R, Rosa (with Ingrid in front - who is just as silly as she looks) the teenage daughter Korah and Don Rohelio who IS my friend  Posted by Picasa

these are the "yellow" blossoms for the day Posted by Picasa

again, the variety is amazing - AND very pleasing to the eye Posted by Picasa

to prove it - here are a few more Hibiscus pictures Posted by Picasa

I NEVER get tired of looking at or photographing the Hibiscus Posted by Picasa

Arlene couldn't help with the pictures because she was busy taking care of of her nephew Jeremiah Posted by Picasa

these kids were just getting out of school and they helped me to pick just the right angle for some of the pictures Posted by Picasa

there is a wide variety of "detail" in these flowers Posted by Picasa

There are a ton of these along the road to our house and I have been wanting to get a picture for weeks - today I made it............................=) Posted by Picasa

the delicacy and intricacy of these blossoms was very hard to capture in a picture - I just love them though Posted by Picasa

this is what the whole "clump" looked like Posted by Picasa

I saw these out in the ministry yesterday so I went back today with the camera - I just love the color Posted by Picasa

the sunset tonight was very nice - the hills in the distance are near the village of Laguna Posted by Picasa

kinda fuzzy, but this is the whole tribe at breakfast this morning Posted by Picasa

this is one of the three female puppies and the lone distinctively colored one. Posted by Picasa

Here are a couple of pictures of the new puppies - this first one is one of four with this color scheme. Bo was not too happy about the photo shoot so I took one picture of this type for now. More to come.....................=) Posted by Picasa

here he is again Posted by Picasa

the next two pictures are of a lizard that was on one of the clothes lines - you can write your own caption, and if you come up with a good one, let me know Posted by Picasa

if you remember back several weeks ago to the picture of the green-headed tree snake eating the frog - this is what that frog looked like before it disappeared into the snake......=) Posted by Picasa

this is NOT that good of a photo, but the spider had set up housekeeping in the bathroom and ultimately had to be evicted Posted by Picasa

the only way to get bit by a terantula is to WORK at making it mad - they are peace loving by nature and this one crawled out from under Stoutie the wonder dog - go figure Posted by Picasa

it was a week of interesting bugs - this critter has those nice looking but dangerous spikes all over its body  Posted by Picasa

catasetum integerrimum - this orchid just finished blooming last week - it looks like another of the saame variety will bloom next week - this appears to be the male form of this orchid Posted by Picasa
