rpics what rain?

Another great morning with Julia. We´ll spend a whole day with her tomorrow.

Started with 4 cocks-on-the rock - don´t ask me to explain the name. Excuse the poor image - you try shooting through jungle at 6 am. Then to a canopy place where these violet-tailed sylphs were buzzing about....
... joined by several mountain tanagers, including, in order, black-chin, yellow-nape, blue-wing and flame-faced - the latter our new favorite.



On our return D. forced our hostess´ 89 yo mother to do some salsa dancing - at 10 am. Drove her to tears.
We then moved to a new place, with a great backyard full of humming birds and some of these rufous mot mots.
