SCORPION

 

The grossest thing I have seen so far. Luckily it was at a friend's house. And dead.

FOSSILS

This is what happens when you get stuck for too long at the same spot...in your old habits...you become a fossil.

IGUANAS

 

Huge beautiful dragonlike, tree-dwelling iguana in the garden. I hear them all the time but they are hard to see because they move so fast.

ARMY ANTS

 

The army raid will seek out and capture mostly spiders and insects, such as caterpillars, millipedes, cockroaches, or katydids. The army will attack other ant colonies and wasp nests. Vertebrates with any speed are usually able to escape these arthropod predators, but when given the opportunity the ants will pursue frogs, lizards and snakes.

RAINBOW EUCALYPTUS

Patches of outer bark are shed annually at different times, showing a bright green inner bark. This then darkens and matures to give blue, purple, orange and then maroon tones. The previous season’s bark peels off in strips to reveal a brightly colored new bark below. The peeling process results in vertical streaks of red, orange, green, blue and gray.

THE ROCK DIVER - LE PÊCHEUR DE ROCHES

 

Every now and then here in Cabuya, there is a dog that follows you. He keeps you company for a while, like a guardian angel. That day, it was this cute puppy. He was diving for rocks, taking them out of the water.

PLAYA GRANDE

The most beautiful beach I've ever seen...A 40 minutes hike from Montezuma, passing through Piedra Colorada (Balanced rock sculpture garden), Nicolás Wessberg Natural Reserve, and a seaturtle nesting beach, is Playa Grande. Gigantic, really long, broad, flat, and pure sand beach. No roads, no resorts, no houses, no camping allowed. Pure nature.

HERMIT CRABS

Hermit crab on my kitchen counter with Miles Davis "Ascenseur pour l'Échafaud" playing in the background.
 

Sometimes I film bugs with a micro lens on my iPhone. The result is interesting and a bit gross.

DOG FIGHT ON THE BEACH

One day, on a beach the other side of the peninsula. As I was taking pictures, a man on his horse broke up a fight between 3 dogs.

LIVING FENCE

“Live fences”. Brilliant idea. You see it a lot here. Trees planted close together with barbed wire woven between the trees. Very low maintenance. They cut branches off...or not.

ISLA CABUYA

An island reachable by foot at low tide. Right close to home, in Cabuya. In the middle of the island there is a cemetery, and vultures... I go there often.

OLD BEACH STYLE CABINET

I found this old cabinet in a garage sale. It seemed like it's previous owner started striping the paint off and then gave up. I liked seeing all the different coats of paint and wanted to keep the effect. I smoothed it out, then made a knob out of a piece of driftwood. It's perfect as a medicine cabinet in the bathroom.
