Tababuia Chrysantha

Possibly the last of the dry season blossoms. Tababuia chrysantha.

The rains are coming.

I couldn't choose which image I liked best. I added them extra large for full impact!

What else!

When I'm not at work - which is most of the time - I try to do some of this...

what else...

I'm getting to see a lot of this... light patterns and movement on water.

Sometimes, a bit too much movement!

 We sailed into a storm. It was very choppy and I admit I was afraid!

But well worth weathering it out for this.

And this! The man caught "Manchado" - related to red snapper - in the dark.

 It was delicious!

I was thinking about those ocean skies. But can't decide if I prefer it like this...

Or like this??? 

Something started... that will probably just remain as another fragment of an idea. The sky needs more apricot. 

I grated some avocado pit.

Within seconds of being exposed to the air, it starts to turn that delicious marigold color.

I threw it in the pot with a few small scraps. I am not a patient cloth dyer.

I keep finding little scraps of fabric all over the house. I picked these three up today, and the coincidental arrangement was pleasing.

Any minute now, my eldest son, Eben, is going to arrive, and I haven't seen him for a whole year!
