Evening Visit to Botanical Gardens

 Reader Advisory Notice - If you ain't got yer hat on Bomber,
 hold on to something else!
 One of a number of dinners I shared with Dance Hosts Tony and Kieth
aboard the 'mighty' M/V Voyager.
A REAL PLEASURE GENTS!
Views of the Botanical Gardens which close at 18:00 each evening.
The Security Guard locking the gates as the sun sank, offered me a lift back to the main gate on his electric golf buggy. He said he had seen me most days and between the crew were keeping a watchful eye so I didn't get into any bother - very nice gesture.

CRIMSON-CRESTED WOODPECKER
It would seem a discarded container of cooked rice was having
the advantage of attracting a number of very attractive birds.
 
 
 RUDDY GROUND DOVE
 GREY and BLUE TANAGER
 
 YELLOW ORIOLE
while a good number of Parrots were enjoying a more natural
food source.
