Busy day today, I had no time to actually go out and take a photo, so I am using one from last month, so not too old after all. The hose pipe, it was lying on the ground to the position was awkward, but with the help of the screen I took a few photos but in the end the vertical photo was my choice.

Long Grass –
We have a bit of a jungle in the garden in parts as we have plenty of space and it is hard to maintain.

We have some carnations in the garden, they are one of the few flowers that really thrive here, with buds all year round, so expect a series of these.

A series of macro photos of our aloe vera from the garden, we were out walking in the neighbourhood a few months ago and found thrown on the road a couple of aloe vera plants which we picked up and took home and planted, they are thriving.

This has to be one of the craziest, fun, colourful and wonderful festivities of the country. The Mama Negra, also known as the Santisima Tragedia de la Mama Negra. there are men dressed as women.
Men, called Ashangueros, carrying huge pigs with licor, bread, chicken, and other food. These are a weight of 200 kgs.
Camisonas, the often carry a bag full of sweets to share with the crowd.
There is a lot of dancing, puro and joy.
Macro month day 3 – All going well so far, today we have a honey bee drinking water, tough to photograph as I don’t like to get too close, she might sting me.

Day two. I have no idea of the name of so many flowers so, I will often just call them by their colour. This particular flower is a favourite of one of the long tailed hummingbirds we have, but there is no way I can catch a photo of the bird and the flower, they don’t spend enough time feeding here.
