Summer is here early this year


Last week I visited a friend of mine from work at his place. He has a great big Percheran horse that he uses for logging, packing and even riding. It is huge but very gentle.


He also has a few fox dens on his land. Here are some young ones.



And I took this photo of a Golden Eagle over near York.

Also, we have a signed contract to buy a piece of land near York. This will be about 8 miles closer to work. It is 1.4 acres but will be big enough I think. The property is the flat part and the hillsides are Forest Service Land.




If you have Google Earth on your computer, you can download this file to see the property.

Part 4

Just some random pictures from our trip.

Walking the beach one morning and saw this dead lion fish...

It must have bitten this toe and died.










Iguana crossing the street from Iguana Park at our hotel











We saw 3 weddings on the beach. I liked this one because of the Clemson color theme!

Part 3

Another excursion we went on was to Chichen Itza
























Chichen Itza is the capital of ancient Maya empire, its majestic building dates back to 435 and 455, and it is geographically located in the middle of spectacular natural environs in the Yucatan Peninsula. At this site declared as one of the 7 World Wonders, you can visit magnificent temples such as the Kukulcan Pyramid and the Ball Game as well as there are others that cannot be visited to avoid damages. 

The Castle or Pyramid of Kukulcan is the most impressive temple in Chichen Itza renowned for the number of tombs found there and its endless 91 steps, as well as the impeccable architecture that stands out by a stone feathered serpent. 

If you visit Chichen Itza on March 21st or September 21st you can admire a unique spectacle: the Equinox. Just at 3:00 p.m. the sun lights creates at the pyramid north side 7 light and shadows isosceles triangles, giving shape to the body of a slithering serpent. This effect is a symbol of the Kukulcan God descent (bird-serpent) to the earth, and also the beginning and ending agricultural cycle, according the Equinox (spring or autumn).

Follow the steps into the past and discover the most important Mayan cultural center considered one of the most advanced in America.
