Crabs addicted to coffee

The housekeeper was discarding the coffee dregs from the peculator so I followed her to see what she was going to do with it. She threw it by the plants, so I thought that she was providing fertilizer for the plants. But with the same thought, I said to her that did not know coffee was used for this purpose.

I know that the contents from the tea bags are used to fertilized the plants. Her response to me was that the coffee dregs was for the crabs.

As she turned her back, within seconds and I mean literally seconds, these crabs started to crawl out from under the wooden floor. I was amazed! Plus I nave never seen this type of crab so large.

A rare sight indeed!

These pictures were taken when my son visited Anguilla last year.

When I first saw picture number one, I could not identify what he had in his hand. In the picture, he was just standing there with his hand streched out. So I asked him what is so special about this picture, what was in his hands. Then he told me that he was feedings the birds!!! AWESOME!!! I cropped the picture so you can really see the birds on his hands!

Apparently these birds are accostomed to being feed by people. They are so pretty.

A few mornings, I noticed one of them paid me a visit when I was hanging my clothes on the clothes line. I was so happy to see it. A rare sight indeed!

Sunset British Virgin Islands

I had to drive all the way to the western side of the island to get this shot. I think if I had gotten there a little earlier, I would have gotten the sun now starting to 'set'.
I found this photo in my stock file, I had taken it some time ago with cell phone. I like this one the best. This time I did not have to go to the Western End of the Island, this location was about a 8 minute drive from my home.
