Doris and Chris....Ann's birds...Ann and Chippie's Home

What a beautiful tree. There were in blossom everywhere on Grand Bahama Island.

A music group from the U.S. playing gospel music at the Presbyterian Church that Doris Hamilton goes to.

Doris H. our dear friend who drove us to Beacon School every Monday so we could play and teach guitar at her school. Thanks so much Doris. Doris invited us to this music night at her Presbyterian Church. It was great to see all the families enjoying the music and visiting.
This is the view outside her church.

I think this is called antler ear moss or something like that. I remember trying to get one little sprout to grow in my house when I lived in Calgary and this thing is going crazy, so healthy and wild.

This is Doris' husband Chris and Anth.

This is my Tennis partner, Gabe.

This is a very hot Tom after a good game of Tennis with Hank, Gabe and me. After we played Tennis in the morning we were so hot we would go in the pool with our Tennis clothes on and drink our beer there. Man it was hot. We would be sweating before we even started to play.

Anthony and Hank in the pool. The pool was like bath water it was so warm.

Me in the pool after Tennis.

These are Ann's birds, her Love birds and Ring-necked African Parrot and some Sparrows have gotten into the cage.

This is Ann's Ring-necked African Parrot. A pair of them flew into her aviary after the Hurricane in 2004. They must have gotten loose and couldn't find their home so they came to hers. They are very beautiful.

This is Ann and Chippie's view from their backyard into the canal. This is a Poinciana Tree.

This is a Sea Muffin. You can find them on some of the beaches and sometimes when you're snorkeling.

The fruit is just starting to show on the trees. By the time we get back in the fall it'll be all ripe and ready to eat.

Ann and Chippie's house from the side. There are bars on the windows because the people that owned it before weren't there all year round and there was more of a chance of a break in so they put the bars up.

Ann and Chippie's backyard...note the Aviary on the right hand side that's where the Cockatiles are.


Bananas.

A double Hibiscus...so beautiful.

We moved the Swan over to the dock by the Tennis Courts. They are in the background. We pushed it 5 feet away from the dock and Anthony put 26 lines on her to protect her from the winds she might get while we're gone. We put our bikes, kayak, dinghy, etc. on the front deck, took the sails down and put the fenders around her strategically placed. So far all is well with the Swan and we're so glad.
