Fauna and Flora

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. The island was really popping away last night but it was fun to watch the kids outside playing with their sparklers. I remember doing that when I was a kid.



I took some photos yesterday around the house. This first one is of Art building a barrier for the mynah birds that keep trying to build a nest in the rafters. Mom feels they make fun of her because they seem to tease her whenever she comes by and tries to shoo them away.


Mom calls this the Mickey Mouse plant. I thought the flowers were unusual but I don't see anything Mickey Mouse-like about it.


A lot of the neighbors have this vine growing over their fences. I think it's called Stephanosis or something like that. It has the most beautiful fragrance.


I'm going to have to ask my neighbor what this is called. I'll edit this post when I find out.

I'm going to a wedding today on the other side of the island. I hope to get some prettier shots. I'm afraid it's not thaaat great where I'm living because it's more populated. Good gosh! You should see the traffic!!! Yikes!!!
