Hi friends, not a whole lot to report this evening.  I forgot to tell everyone that when I leave on the 1st, (about a week from now) that there will be NO daily blogs sent out as e-mails!  Sorry.  BUT, I will try hard to post a new photo every day on my www.coralreefphotos.com site, so you can still go there for your daily dose of “Life on Curacao”.  I am in the process this evening of getting 21 underwater photos all ready to go and I will take them with me on the trip and post them when I can on my website, so please tune in when you can.  I plan on being very busy every day and just won’t have time to be on the computer but when I return the e-mails will continue for those lucky enough to still be on the list. 
 
Here’s a beautiful Trupial for you all this evening that I found on a dog walk the other day.  These birds are very difficult to approach unless of course you are feeding them or your really fast with your camera.  I put out corn and other seed every day for my birds here in the yard but the Trupials won’t come near it!  The thing they love most is table scraps or just bread!  Their sound is so cool!  The downside to these guys is that they are mean to other birds, they always chase off my smaller yellow sparrows that’s why I quit feeding them, if they can’t play nice they can go find food somewhere else!
 
We had a quiet day and the ocean was rough and dirty.  Tomorrow I have two friends of mine paying for a sub ride at 11:00, it will be great to photograph them underwater.  Off to bed, later, Barry
