Almost every morning we walk a few blocks to the Marcos University Stadium to exercise on their running track. The other morning as we passed by one of our neighbor's houses, we noticed the most gorgeous colors of, I'm assuming, hibiscus flowers. So after our exercise, I walked back with my camera to capture their beauty (which, by the way, the camera didn't capture.)
| There is a delicate, light salmon border on this flower. |
| This one is more true-to-color. |
| Dogs rule the streets..... |
| .........as do the goats. We make frequent stops, waiting for a spacey goat to wander out of the street. |
Young boys are always fishing over the fence into the field across from our apartment. We assumed they were fishing for fish. Wrong!
| The spoils of a "fishing" expedition: a fat, juicy frog! |
My next field trip is to follow the sounds of the pigs we hear squealing each morning. Every evening we leave scraps on our porch for the pig lady to collect. I'm curious to see the results of our charitable donations.

Well, the top two pictures are beautiful. And it quickly goes downhill from there. Just keep focused on the hybiscus flowers as you walk down the street!
ReplyDeleteWords fail me. But wow, you're a trooper.
What do you mean, "trooper"? "It's-a nice-a place!"

At lesat it is NOT a rattlesnake or any other type of snake.
ReplyDeleteGood point. My first thought was, "At least they don't have snakes here. We haven't seen any." But I'd better not say that. I said that about snails: "They don't have snails here." WRONG! I took a picture of a snail the other day. It was about the size of a fist! Gross!

This street has more than a story, it has a novel. Again, what an adventure. You'll think Utah is all crispy and dried up compared to the lush green over there.
ReplyDeleteI love the salmon-colored hibiscus--so beautiful! Oh, and I love the frog, too. Looks like a very beautiful place! Post a picture of the university, please!
ReplyDeleteNot only does this street have a "story" - It's a novel.
