Updated Photo Galleries
July 31, 2008 Filed in: Photographs
We have updated all of the photo galleries with photos
from the past year. Here are a few of my favorite new
ones:
We are unable to include all of the photos we have taken or that our guests have provided to us. Each one of these has a story - they all bring a smile to our faces when we see them. We hope that they do the same for you. We also hope that they help you get a feel for what it is like to spend some time with us here in paradies.
We have broken down some of the larger categories into sub categories so that you can see an example of the diversity that we have down here in plant and animal life. This link takes you to all of the plants which you can use as a jumping ground to get to different plant types. This link takes you to the animals for all of the different types of animals we encounter on our excursions. This link takes you the entire group of photo galleries. Spend some time checking them all out.

Fun on the Internet
July 28, 2008
I was reading one of the blogs I check out on a regular
basis and she had a link to a website called Wordle
www.wordle.net. It makes really cool word clouds. I
took the text off of our home page to see how it might
end up represented in a word cloud. Here are a few of
my favorites that it came up with...
Tex and Fula
July 27, 2008 Filed in: Photographs
We were fortunate to learn about a litter of puppies in
Panama City through our friends Frank and Joyce. Jim
and the kids checked them out on our return from the
USA in June. They were too young to bring back to Bocas
at that time, but we told the man who had the dogs that
we were interested in getting a couple of them - one
girl and one boy.
Jay went back to the USA to visit his mom and upon his return Stefanie and Scott met him in Panama City to take care of some business. The puppies were ready to come back to Bocas so they brought them back with them last Wednesday. Here are a few pictures of our newest family members: Tex, the boy, and Fula, the girl.
Gina, the boy’s teacher, is holding the two pups for their first night in their new home.
Jim and the kids with the pups. Fula is on the landing and Tex is biting on the leaf with Jim and Tres. Boty is taking it all in.

New set of photo galleries
July 25, 2008 Filed in: Photographs
We have added a new set of photo galleries to the website.
These are organized by month. We will rotate the
photos in these galleries after the finish of each
month. This way you can get a feel for what goes
on around here each month. Enjoy ;-)
