In case you are curious about why I would choose to live in Mexico, given its present bad press, here is a video about the place where I live that might explain why.

Hurricanes and Volcanos: Videos of a Subtropical Garden

18 Replies

 

The combined effect of living above an inland lake surrounded by mountains and being 40 miles from Colima Volcano—one of the most active volcanoes in North America—makes for interesting weather during hurricane season. No wind, but our usually sunny mornings turn overcast and misty.  The air is a bit cooler than usual, and when the volcanically-heated mineral springs empty into my pool and hot tub, it makes for some very atmospheric scenes.  Pasiano was in the process of clipping and cleaning up, getting ready for the lush growth of the rainy season.  Morrie, as usual, made his mark on the occasion. Who could have staged that?  Who would want to?  Hope you enjoy these scenes of my terrace, pool and garden.

Tried to get this posted with my earlier submission for this prompt, but it took too long to load and I had to leave as my friend came by to pick me up for a trip to Guadalajara. I’ll try again as this is an amazing shot of a feeding frenzy of birds in La Manzanilla, taken last year. Here goes for another try:

Two More Videos of Hurricane Patricia in La Manzanilla, Mexico

4 Replies

Here are two more of Daniel Hallas’s live cam videos of Hurricane Patricia.  The first is the last 15 minutes before he headed for higher ground. The porch you see is the house I rent and I imagine all the debris you see flying by may be thatch from it’s roof:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UH0D2lIEGk The two long benches that are being surrounded by water in the second video is where everyone sits for Daniel’s nightly tequila sunset soirees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCQzbo8Tofo

(Thanks to okcforgottenman for locating all these videos.)

DSC09139 (1)This is the porch you see in the videos on a day with much better weather almost a year ago!

DSC09192And this is Daniel, whose cam pictures of the hurricane were used around the world, conducting his nightly Sunset Tequila Soiree. He is the one bringing more chairs for the newest arrivals.

DSC09195And the benches you saw in the videos, surrounded by water, are the ones being used as tables in this picture.  Thanks, Daniel, for giving those of us far away a view of one of our favorite places thankfully not being blown entirely away!!!
