News about Mount Baker Park

There IS a living-in rooster on the north end of the park (next to the Children’s Garden). It seems this rooster has chosen Mount Baker Park as his home —I’ve seen him three times over the last three or four months.

Although I find this quite ludicrous, I hope he’s a pet in a nearby house where they feed him. And I also hope there are some hen neighbors around… Spring is here!! ;)

A view from above

The northwestern corner of the Yucatán Peninsula is one of my favorite sights from an airplane. Although this picture does no justice to it —you can actually see my reflection on the window :P—, it depicts a portion of the beautiful Celestún Biosphere Reserve, where the fresh waters from the underground rivers engage in an endless flowing dance with the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Down below, these extensive wetlands create a unique ecosystem, which is chosen as a temporary or permanent home by various species of flamingos, crocodiles, turtles, birds, and other sea creatures. With its high concentration of carotene, these crimson marshes give flamingos its characteristic pink color.

And from high above, the contrast of ruby, emerald, and turquoise is breathtaking.

Basically done :o)

1. The garden looks beautiful
2. The doors and windows are clean
3. Winter clothes are stored away
4. Extra clothes and stuff are ready to go to Goodwill
5. Pictures are hung up on walls
6. The shed is all cleaned and organized
7. The kitchen cabinets and closets are cleaned and organized
8. The soil of most plant pots is changed
9. And most of the house is nice and clean

OK, I’ll have to admit that the following are still pending, but I’ll set them for summer clean:

1. bring the stuff to Goodwill
2. dining-room fan
3. exterior of windows
4. some spots on the carpet
5. change the soil of the two big plant pots
6. continue to weed the lawn and garden beds

So, I’m checking this goal as done!

One with our universe

When I snorkel or scuba-dive, I can’t help but be awed by the vastness of the sea and the creatures that live within.

These two activities are deeply connected to our breathing —the primary condition which keeps us alive— and, hence, originate a sensation of feeling one with the universe, while contemplating all its immense beauty…
