Calabash Tree and Fruit

Calabash tree with its ‘fruit’ that is dried, opened, and used as bowls.

Scorpions!

Scorpions are one of God’s creatures common along the path to my house. (One does wonder about God’s creatures, sometimes.)

Local Plant Life

Caladeums cost how much in the US? Here they are free and grow everywhere. What a beautiful addition to the mission station ground.

Local Wildlife

The local people call this a deer but I have heard it is actually an elk. It is found in the forest and people hunt them and raise them for food. They are very docile.
