leaves in the rain
lovely homemade breakfast
pollinator hotel in the forest
fresh-picked peppercorns
cool water swimming pool at the rainforest hotel
local cat rests with la tortuga sculpture
shadow of a rainforest fern
rainforest hotel lounge
retro lighting and paneling
playing jazz standards and christmas music
the coatis and their families
often joined us for meals
a hut deep in the rainforest
offering a place for the workers to rest
a palm tree on the pacific ocean nods to the end of a day.

Thanks for the spectacular photo gallery Beth … they deserve a poem …
“Did You Hear The Full Moon Sing?”
Yesterday, spring arrived
Last night, a full moon ignited the sky
Today, warmth arose from the earth
Everywhere I walked
Nature stood there bountiful and proud
Everywhere I looked
Nature displayed her colourful shrouds
I saw a glossy black pony
Glowing in the paddock moonlight
And a garden of purple flowers
Bouncing in the sunlight
I saw tree-house sanctuaries
Homes for mystical faeries
And hollowed out logs
Comfy beds for spiders and frogs
Tonight, nature’s mockingbird will sing a lullaby
Tomorrow, the universe will hear no lie or alibi

Again the perfect quote. I was particularly drawn to the fern shadow, and the last photo was a great way to close.
