The water hyacinths are so thick on the surface of the lake right now that this night heron can actually perch or walk across them.
There don’t seem to be very many blooms right now, but you can make out a few in the photo below:

Frida and I took a stroll on the San Juan Cosala Malecon today and found these beauties growing by a makeshift beach lean-to restaurant. So vivid against all the paler colors. More photos of that stroll in a later blog.

I promised Bernadette I’d show this little creature today. She saw little aliens in my milkweed blossom photo yesterday. I thought they looked like either aliens or ducks. How do you vote?

Milkweed Blossom
jdb photo
I’ve seen milkweed pods but never the blossoms until my friend Betty invited me into her back yard to see the Monarch butterfly caterpillars feasting on the leaves of the milkweed she planted for that very purpose. I’m crazy about the blossoms and got some of her seed to launch my own hatchery. Yes, I got photos of the caterpillars which I’ll publish another day. Don’t want to detract attention from these beautiful and unique blooms today.
