It was Gruesome but amazing !

This was on my balcony , just before I went to bed......... a beautiful snake and a sad end for the little bird....
It was gruesome....... but amazing......

This snake has to be smiling !

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first bite of the bird..

The last bite . - look at the colors in its mouth !

approx three meters long

What's next !

Memorial service for Gianni - 9th Jan 2010

Gianni's final resting place...Mission Beach

Mission Beach

As they entered the sea, the sky went almost black....

There were ashes and flowers scattered in the sea...

There was only just time before the tropical rain began..

Incredible sounds of thunder and lightening insured everyone that Gianni was still with us...

There were smiles of memories..

A sharing of love and loss...

The thunder kept on rolling in.......

Just before the heavens open...

Part of Giannis ashes were saved to put under a Frangipani tree

Planted by Kirsten and Carlos

There is so much love in this plant it will bloom a thousand blooms........

There was friendship and stories to tell...

Images of a life that was .....

And a family bond that is bound by mutual love ...

Tropical blooms........a close up

I do love all things in nature, and I particularly love to see the patterns that repeat themselves across species... and I enjoy pondering which pattern was first.....
Here are some Macro images of Tropical blooms that resemble the human form......... and some others I just love...

Pink

Dragon Fruit - The flower only opens at the sun sets...

Dandy flower in the breeze

Bat Flower

Alligators Nest - another amazing tropical wonderland of Far North Queensland...

Beautiful cold drinkable water....

Deep green water...

An adventure...

filled with smiles...
