Flora and Fauna

Joel's backyard is like a fantasy. A good one, with swimming and fresh limes. See above, and if you're feeling stiff and need a way to relax, below:

The flowers are incredible. Bird of paradise, below, is blooming in profusion everywhere. And I'm not the only one who likes it. Check out the fellow in the second shot. He has a red head.




Pretty colors of every description:


But the nice thing about the garden is that it's restrained. There are fruit trees (lime, lemon and pomegranate), flowers including that gorgeous baby above, and rock formations. But it's simple and pleasing rather than blowsy. I love it.

Dim sum: tick tock tick tock. T minus 1 hour and counting.

And in case you were wondering: Iain went to bed last night around 4:30 and slept until this morning at 3:45am. So that's 7:30 to 6:45am EST. Pretty good, but hard to be up and about here before 4am.
