 barrel-cactus Good evening, I just got home and found the parakeets once again squawking away and eating seed pods in our back yard! This just cracks me up, I have been trying to sneak up on these birds for years without much luck and now they are sitting in our yard taunting me! They are not as afraid as the ones I have seen out along the coast but still have their limits on how close you can get.
During the last weeks of the rainy season the barrel cactus here were really saturated with colors! For some reason all that moisture made the spines redder and in the morning or evening light they just seemed to glow. This was taken looking straight down on the cactus with a tripod using a long exposure. This is one of our most common plants on the island. They seem to grow best in the worst possible spots like along the coast in jagged limestone, and not just one or two here and there, they are everywhere!
It was a fairly quiet day for once at the aquarium, I think today was the end of the long Easter holiday and many of the Dutch tourists headed back home. Need to find some dinner, see ya, Barry
