Rio Cinto borders the property… how’s this for peaceful?
(Mindo-Rio Cinto- Ecuador) Last week’s Timeout for Art was published through the magic of “Publish at a later date” option, so I was immersed in the cloud forest when “Timeout” rolled out last Thursday morning. Suspecting that my buddy-support system might be worried, I drove into town this afternoon to buy a few supplies, check emails and return before dark.
Look who came for breakfast chats1
Your comments gave me grand smiles, and I’ll be back online at the end of the week to properly thank all of you. Ann, I’ll dust off the magic carpet and catch those magical full-moon-eclipse beams for a fast kitchen makeover! Karen, thanks for your beautiful comment – you are an extremely-talented artist, and I’m glad that my unique life gives you such pleasure!
How’s this for whirrrrrring of wings? Where’s Barb, btw?
Photos won’t upload, emails won’t open – the internet keeps ‘dropping’ the signal, so I’ll publish this and scram home just ahead of the rising moon! After a restart, it would not connect to any network. I selected, “Cannot Connect, Help” and was given this message: You are not connected to the Internet. To get online Help, which shows you the latest help content, you need to be connected to the Internet.”
Always lovely flowers – this orchid was especially lovely!
Thanks again, everyone! See you at the end of the week, weather and internet permitting!

Funny, I remember when I wasn’t ever connected and then when I was rarely connected. Now I feel so disconnected when I’m disconnected. 🙂 Glad you could drop in for a few minutes and share these lovely photos. I’ll look forward to the next Z sighting.

Lovely photos. Always a joy to get something from you!
Though not as bad as your internet, mine loves to go out too. And when I call the Internet company (when I have enough bars and don’t get dropped) they put me on hold and remind me I can contact them online. Sure.
My town is a third-world country on its own. Except some third-world countries have better internet!
That’s as good as our power company, that always reminds us in the middle of yet another outage that we can check to see when power will be restored by logging on to http://www.you‘re-grinding-your-teeth-again. Pffft.
I hear the hummingbirds’ second wave is just north of us. Last week, it was broad-tail hawks. There were so many in the migration they were picked up on radar, cruising just north of Houston down to Corpus, and thence to South America. They’re coming to see you!
Think of you often. It’s always good to find a post waiting for me.
Your patience and tenacity continue to inspire me. As does your amazing photography and creativity. 🙂
Z, thanks for the nice nature walk this morning. Hope internet comes back for you full throttle. Keith
Love the hummers!

Reblogged this on Stone Soup with karensamenow and commented:
Once again, I love the flora, & wildlife of Equator.. & my friend Z has the most interesting posts. Sometimes they are art, & sometimes they are life. Things we all go through, life and art!
I think my hummers are on the way to you. I know they’ll be well appreciated when they arrive. 😉
I am so far behind in reading posts. Hope you are well. Love the hummers! We are on our way to Guatemala next week. Were you able to watch the eclipse? I had just returned from the states and it looked like the evening was going to be perfect…I got 3 moon shots above the volcano, then the big ole rain clouds moved in and it poured the rest of the night. Boo hoo.
Good to see you even though it is just a flying visit. Love to see the hummers winging in with you too.
