I was on a bus tour of the northern end of Trinidad a couple of years ago, and the last stop of the day was the Asa Wright Nature Center that Jim showed. However since we had run late on several of the previous stops on the tour, we had literally 10 minutes at the Asa Wright Center. Arrival: 2:38 P.M. On the viewing patio of the nature center: Seeing Birds: As well as a two-foot long lizard and a mountain crab And back on the bus ready to leave at 2:47 P.M. We then had to race back to the ship halfway across the country by 4:00 P.M. or be penalized. We first had to wend our way down out of the mountains ... and drive halfway across the the country... In traffic like this... right at the time school had let out ... and managed to reach the ship at 4:00 and 13 seconds! The trip was one of the best on our month-long voyage around the Caribbean, but I really thought we'd die or crash or at least kill some school child on the manic race back to the ship.

Yes, Jodi, a Westie without the Westie haircut. We keep him trimmed but will let him grow out a little now that it's getting cooler. Terrific picture from Bodie. Is it very developed or touristy there now, or just the buildings and that's it? I see, Jim. We don't have that type of jay here in California; we have the scrub jays which aren't as good looking and the Stellars in local mountains which are georgeous birds. Not sure what "yours" is called.

I agree about percussion. My son enjoyed his drum set many years after HS, and I never minded listening to the practice as it really was "music to my ears." Band is a wonderful experience for these kids, I know you agree and I commend you for whatever your involvement is. My son's school traveled outside the country a couple times to be in competitions, once to the Calgary Stampede where it rained on them and their new uniforms. He sure had a lot of wonderful experiences and is still close friends with one of his fellow drummers.

Castillo San Felipe del Morro, commonly called El Morro; it guards the bay of San Juan in Puerto Rico. Construction began in the 16th century. It is now operated by the US National Park service and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is where I spend my free time. It's near home and across the street from where I work. San Diego Creek runs alongside the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary on its way to the ocean. Irvine, Calif.

Same Spanish fort as yesterday -- Castillo de San Felipe Del Golfo, in Guatemala.

This shows the narrow neck of water they would put a chain across to prevent ships from passing without paying the toll.

And a close-up of the design on one of the cannons

Thanks PartyMusic ... it's my zen place to go. Just love it.

And to make the place even more awesome, this beauty showed about a month or so ago and brought his mate with him.

Jodi, is that an orange bishop? I originally thought it was an oriole, but looked it up and I think it might be the orange bishop. I've never even heard of this bird. It is stunning!! Fantastic picture!!

Beautiful color, but I don't recognize the bird... never heard of an orange bishop, but I'm on the other side of the country. :)

It *was* an Orange Bishop until last month when they renamed it the Northern Red Bishop.

Follow the link below and you'll see more photos I took of the No. Red Bishop and of the Yellow-crowned Bishop (aka Golden Bishop).

They are both stunning birds.
