Odds and Ends







I have just a bunch of pictures with very little story attached that I thought you all might be interested in. A lot of flowers, I know but they are so beautiful! I wish I could send you the smell it is like nothing else. These are the bananas we bought off the banana truck for $6 Bze or $3 USD.










The best time to find the creepy crawlies is at night. Brynn and Kori didn't seem to scare this guy at all.







Just one of the many varieties of bird of paradise flowers that grow everywhere. They are like weeds here. I don't think I'll ever be able to pay for them again!











Here's another variety.































Sadly, this picture doesn't really do this guy justice. This moth had a wing span of about 6 inches. He was hanging out on our deck one Sunday morning.














This is Linda. She is the girls' pet praying mantis. Mostly she stays outside but has been known to come in for a visit. She got mad at Alfred when he tried to tell her it was time to leave and jumped onto his chest. Then she got to fly!







And the wildest life of all. Our very own pirates of the Caribbean!
