I am just back from two weeks in Cuba and have many photos. This plant was found in the Jardín Botánico de Cienfuegos. The botanical garden is one of the largest ones in Cuba. I hope to have names for plants soon.
I put in a balance beam for our goats. Alice is enjoying showing off on it. Initially they just looked at it and licked it but I demonstrated by getting up and walking back and forth on the beam and then Alice, the younger goat, followed my example. I have not seen Gertrude on the beam yet but I am sure she will be up on it sooner or later as both like to climb up on things in the barnyard.
St. Patrick's Day sunrise: the camera just could not do the scene justice. Hard to capture the accompanying bird songs.
Here is our donkey, Leroy, enjoying the almost spring sunshine while waiting for his pedicure. The farrier came in the early afternoon.
Leroy has a wonderful winter coat right now that will soon begin to fall off and then we will have a motley, varicoloured donkey for a couple of months.
I found this "sapsicle" on the trunk of a white pine that was cut last fall. The colour and the smoothness and the unexpected place all attracted me. The log was at the side of one of the trails at the Royal Botanical Garden's Arboretum in Hamilton.
