Donkeys cluster about the feeding trough at the Donkey Sanctuary. They appear to be in a conversation listening to the one facing away from the viewer. One is concentrating with ears perked.

The trupial as a regular garden visitor flashes a bright yellow and black but only up close can you see the dab of blue eye shadow.

The traditional Bonairean kadushi cactus fence made from straight tips cut and interlocked against a wire fence. If done with skill, the cactus pieces take root and the fence becomes a living and growing thing. The cactuses flower and produce fruit creating the perfect brunch line for a pair of trupials. Many other birds and animals will join the buffet line like our native prikichis and even fruit bats.

Why call this painting Flamingo World? While it could have been Flamingo Head or Flamingo Neck one of the most striking elements to this painting is the swirling water with the mix of greens, turquoise, white and beige. In many ways, it reminds me of the space photos of the Earth. It is also the world of the flamingo stalking the waters for food. So Flamingo World it is.

The Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, is a winter visitor on the island of Bonaire. He stalks the shores of the Salinas grown full from the fall rains. An interesting note the heron flies with his neck pulled in while a flamingo flies with his neck fully extended.

Here is a close-up view of the birthplace of the coconut deep in the heart of the palm tree. They begin life as small brilliant orange clustered buds which grow to football size. They then brown and the heavy branch will eventually break from the weight.
