I went searching for these beautiful red plants today to decorate the house. Four viveros later, I gave up and came home dragging along about half a dozen of the most pathetic specimens imaginable. Two years ago they were in every market and garden spot around. Feast or famine.
Wednesday is Mexican Train Dominoes night. Great fun.
The pelicans and other shore birds have been very plentiful this year. We see flocks of brown pelicans skimming over the waves, then suddenly making a corkscrew turn and diving into the water. There are also white herons, lots of gulls, egrets, and other tiny, scurrying birds at the water's edge. The waters must be healthy and full of fish to support the birds. When not flying around they float on the waves like wooden decoys, bobbing up and down. Whales and porpoise have been sighted just off shore here. This coastline is right in their migration pattern but they usually are here earlier.
