Easter finery


It’s Good Friday and I’m sitting on the deck of the Red Mangrove Inn http://www.redmangrove.com/   The Station is closed today and I miss my and this deck has a nice ocean breeze and a good view of the harbor.  It’s much nicer then my stuffy apartment with a view of the clothesline.  Here, there are iguanas crawling across the deck and sea lions sleeping in the shade.  I can see a frigate with something long in his beak. The fish must be struggling.  He dropped it than swooped around to catch it again.   He is struggling to stay aloft and keep the fish.  There is a small stream the flows down and into the harbor just to the side of this property.  It makes the water there a bit less salty.  The birds seem to like the spot.  I’m watching the pelicans bathing there then sitting on the rocks to preen themselves for Easter weekend.



There are only a few frigates and boobies in the air just now.  It seems to be siesta for almost everything. 

As I was coming down the hill today I passed a hermit crab in a smooth brown snail shell trying to cross the road.  There are quite a few cars and bikes that use that road.  I hope he made it.
