Spectres at Dusk & Dawn

 

Hagred

Hagred is our resident Pygmy Owl.

This is what the back of his head looks like.

Ah. Here's his smiling face.

 

Carnivál in Ecuador

 

It's Carnivál week in Vilcabamba. It features the usual

festival food, drinks, music and crafty vendors.

But the event everyone highlights is

the drowning of friends and family

in aerosol foam and assault weapons loaded with water.

Es la semana del Carnavál en Vilcabamba.

Cuenta con la habitual comida del festival, bebidas,

música y vendedores artesanales.

Pero el acontecimiento que todo el mundo

destaca es el ahogamiento de amigos y familiares

en espuma de aerosol y armas de asalto cargadas de agua.

Trek to Turtle Mountain

New Years Day, 2022. Expedition II to the slopes

 of Turtle Mountain to locate the spring that is 

the source of our water.

Mi casa pequeño

Floppy the bull was looking us over with great interest. 

Holsteins ignore you but this guy I don't know.

At the Top

On the dome of the mountain there was a grove of trees
shadowing wide open ground cover

where we met Floppy and his friends again. I don't care who you are, it's no joy ride when they won't stop walking towards you. 

We were turned back from our quest by a heavily thicketed ravine. But we did see the other side side of the mountain.
