 Monday, when the power was out, we were scrambling to find light and Cristina came up with a couple of rose LED globes and a candle, along with the 3 flashlights we used.  We missed some other lighting that sure would have made things easier.  I had taken the photos below with the D5600...

Today was cloudy and thankfully cooler, and I made a couple of small grocery trips for Cristina who didn't want the hassle of dressing up.  I didn't mind, taking my gal Turi with me to get popcorn for my popper...

We still do our best to get out for a short walk every night, usually after 10pm when it is mostly quiet and nobody is watching our dogs do their business... 

I watched curling again this afternoon and, sadly, the competition is not improving, so it is hardly entertaining to watch.  I sure miss having books to read when the sports get boring.....

I saw the slim possibility of a nice sunset brewing so I grabbed the camera and the older electric moped and cruised quickly to the countryside acreage area of Campo Alegre.  But there was no gap between the clouds and the coastal cordillera so I took what shots seemed interesting.

Now it is time to go back and watch more curling and maybe hockey... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Not much light..

Better...

But pretty

Sugar cane fields are everywhere

Guadua trees are like Bamboo

As close to sunset as we would get..

A large cornfield

A panorama, just for you

Dusk is early here...

Tuesday January 27, 2026

 Got to bed again late last night because of the lateness of the Oiler game, then doing yesterday's Blog at midnight...  So we slept in but the cloudy day made us feel listless.

We watched curling half-heartedly because the quality of the teams are so diluted for this year's Scotties.  Luckily we had another nice afternoon rain to freshen things.

Cristina got a call that ServiEntrega (Delivery) had a package in my name for pickup.  Their office is within 2 blocks now, so I walked over with an umbrella.  It was the Temu cat-pattern curtains that we had ordered long ago, which are pretty, but the edges are not even hemmed.  I guess we got what we paid for...

As the rain quit, I decided to try the P1100 out back on the raindrops and to wait a bit for Tom Thumb.  The raindrop shots do show amazing detail when enlarged.  I am still not happy with my TT shots.

I caught a Kiskadee twitterpating with a Common Ruddy Ground Dove for some odd reason....

The owner send a couple of boys to pick up Dutchy on a motorcycle.  Dutchy was very affectionate and mostly fun, except for his excited barking when play-fighting with Grande.  I am always happy to return to our original crew... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
