If they were more cruise-ship friendly in 2011 when I was there, it was probably not much more so. This was looking in the opposite direction from the previous shot -- mostly a cargo port. And only the green roofed building shown here was used for cruise ship passengers. I think the red roofed buildings were warehouses The tents shown above did have a welcoming committee with steel drum band and dancers in carnival costumes. And this guy dancing on stilts

This is a gate/arbor combo we made years ago out of electrical conduit. Those are curtain finials on top. Today I'm planting another Jackmani clematis on the left side....it needs balance. :0)

When I lived in the Dallas house we had a roadrunner that was enamored with me or my dogs or cats not sure which but every day it would come to the pool patio and tap tap on the window, they went to the floor, and it would keep doing that till I came over and talked to it. Then it started bringing me treats, grasshoppers, other bugs etcetc. It would leave them right at the window where I could see it. It was always hanging out around the pool but never in it, it would get on the waterfall and drink. I loved that bird!

Puschkinia in the sunken garden:Fratillaria:Fritillaria Persica (new this year, planted last Fall. Two out of three bulbs came up. Eventually there will be tall purple blooms - I hope):
