All of you must know by now that my hubby and I have adopted two dogs. Our "girls" as we like to call them  have opened us up to a whole new life experience. The girls love to go to the 'Bark Park' and for walks. During a few of these walks I have discovered a few Weird & Wonderful sights of  Brandon and it's somewhat odd inhabitants. Please enjoy the next group of photos. I know I have enjoyed finding them...

Palm flower
Had a very short life span
One day they were beautiful, the next they were gone...
buzz...bees loved them

Ferny, Whimsical 5 foot plant
Well liked by Hummingbirds

Wedding flower most often worn in hair
Found on the pathway going to the pool

Found atop of very short bushes, reminds me of Canadian Geraniums

These flowers have close relatives in Costa Rica
Bushes 3-4 feet wide and high, by the pool

Salmon colored Bougainvillea
There was a huge bush just outside of our room

A non invasive vine

I am Strong...I can grow anywhere!

Me Too!!

Examples of Flora & Stone working together

This petit plant was low to the ground, seemed to be
drought tolerant and attracted many bees

This fine specimen, What is it's name?!

Single Hibiscus



'Ruffled' Hibiscus

Look at all the different shades of green!

Now that you have seen our hotel, the pool, the ocean and some scenic spots...
let me show you
the flowers of the Rivera Maya

Just over the bridge towards the water fall



Coba's main pyramid is called Nohoc Mul (Mayan)
All 120 steep steps of it to the height of 130 feet
I can do it, I'm sure I can
So what if it's 28 degrees and 100% humidity

I took this picture which proves that I made it...
to the top!
