Earlier this week Yogi and I had a nice morning to go to our favorite place for a walk, Banana Island. It is an area that is just being developed with big exclusive homes, condos, etc. It is gated and we have a permit to go there as part of the "Exercise Club". People who like to run, walk, bike can pay a yearly fee to use this area and the wide roads without much traffic to exercise and relax. There are occasionally big chunks of sidewalk missing so you have to watch out for that but otherwise it is a nice, peaceful place near the water for a walk. If you are out there after a rain storm you hear a chorus of frogs croaking at different pitches depending their size. The large toads/frogs are the basses or baritones and the smaller frogs are a bit higher like a tenor. It's amazing how much noise they make!
The rainy season has started and with it I have noticed more "wild" flowers blooming on the undeveloped land and loads of butterflies and dragon flies. Here are some nature photos from our last walk. It's a rainy morning here today, complete with lightning and booming thunder, not such a bad morning to wait for the air conditioning repair person!

So pretty! Is that lantana in the last picture? We have that in California, it loves the hot sun.
