Still we have some days of mist and clouds and rain...but also days with nice sunny mornings and in the afternoon some clouds and rain. Yes the dry season is coming and the signs are here.
The Hummingbirds are really active and easier to see... the flowers are already numerous!!
So let's give you an impression of the flowers...
And so this is just a small impression of the flowers that are blooming, but you get an idea.
Hummingbirds are pretty active with all that nectar!
Not easy to take pictures...but here they are a few ....
You can click on the pictures to see the birds better.
