 happy-mothers-day Good evening readers, I first want to say Happy Mothers Day to my mom in Tucson Arizona, this flowers for you!! I was just telling someone just today that without my mom buying Aimee and I our first computer for our wedding we would probably still be in the stone age! I remember how scared I was even thinking we were getting one and had all these nightmares about having to go back to school or take night classes just to learn how to use it?? But thankfully this was not the case. She walked us thru everything step by step and in no time at all we were surfing the web as fast as dial up could go, so once again momma thanks for all you have done for us!! I wish I could be there to take you out to dinner but am sure the man of the house will take care of that for me. And for all you other special mommas out there Aimee and I wish you a wonderful Mothers Day as well, thanks for taking such good care of us! This was the only flower blooming on the moss sedum the morning I took the picture of the hermit crab in the fossil shell, maybe he ate them all??
Our little island is going to blow right off the map if this wind keeps up, today was down right terrible! You should see the big waves that are rolling in making for very unpleasant diving unless you go down real deep. I had planned on diving the Superior tomorrow but that’s not going to happen now, it’s just way to rough.
After work I took the dogs to Saint Joris for a short windy walk. I noticed this evening for the first time that those red spined cactus were blooming? The flowers are super small and must only bloom late in the day and into the evening because I have never seen it in the mornings, will go back tomorrow evening with the macro lens. Aimee is out with friends this evening, the dogs are asleep and I need to get to bed. I will see you again tomorrow, once again Happy Mothers Day!! Curacao regards, Barry

 antique-perfume-bottle Good evening friends, I meant to send this out a few years ago but never got around to it. An hour before the 2006 World Cup Mountain bike race was to begin Aimee and I took off out into the bush to pick our spots along side the trail to watch and take photo’s. Along the way while walking on the actual course we found this 100 year old tiny purple perfume bottle laying half buried directly in the middle of one of the trails. This whole area behind the aquarium used to be a dump but was mostly cleaned years and years ago before the aquarium was built. The bottle is an inch and three fourth’s tall or around 4.3cm and has a tarnished sterling silver top, it’s really cool. Back in the States those of you who visited our house know that I collect miniature antique bottle’s although most of those are cobalt blue poison bottles this is a real treasure. Well today while out hiking with Aimee I found these really cool tiny little flowers. Both of us tried and tried to shoot them in the wild this morning but with a breeze blowing from the east it made the task completely impossible. I am a determined soul so I carefully cut one and brought it home knowing that this little bottle would be a perfect holder. If any of you local folks know the name of these please send it to me, can use all the help I can get. So from that day on we have named it our “World Cup bottle” and look at it every day as it sits in our bathroom on a display shelf.
Aimee’s parents and sister arrived in 100% great shape without any problems, they said the airports and planes along the way were packed, tiss the season!! They slept in this morning while Aimee and I did the two and a half hour hike thing looking for little things to shoot. In the afternoon we all went on a fun/crazy trip to the local grocery store, it was a case of culture shock for sure for these guys trying to figure out what everything said as it’s all written in Dutch. Aimee also took them to the beach today and they all went snorkeling and from the sounds of it they all had a blast.
Talk to you tomorrow, Sunny regards, Barry
