to sunset
we enjoy every day we are here and feel so fortunate to have this opportunity to see our dream come alive! (Even if it is taking much longer than hoped.)

Party on, Garth!
We also attended Carnivale, which is a week-long party in a different area each day.
We went to the Mangrove Bight party, 'cuz that's our 'hood. These guys are Romel, our dive master, Brian, our boat captain, and Joe, our builder.

The wonders of Mother Nature!
We watched some great storms pass by. This one at sunset was really awesome!
We also added to our photo moth collection with some interesting guys in the kitchen.

"Wild" life
Ginger kept tabs on the local wildlife such as the land crabs climbing all over the place,
the bone fish, the growing anemone under the dock, the little yellow damsels, and, if you look really closely, the juvenile drum fish living among the lava rocks by the dock.

A Riot of Color
We saw the various flowers we planted this winter , some of which are the hibiscus, pink and red ginger,
bougainvilla, dahlias, and pink and yellow gladioli, bloom and produce glorious color in the front yard

Yes! We have no bananas . . . (not!)
We watched as the first 2 racks of plantain grew in our banana orchard
We have plantain, chatas, finger bananas, apple bananas, and of course, regular bananas

Summertime at G & G's Clearwater Paradise
We watched our lime trees bloom and produce their summer crop
and we watched our "big" papaya trees we planted in winter produce as well as the wild "small" papaya tree that came up in the front yard.
