Saturday Evening.

I have had a nice day. I went to a fellow colleagues house for a meal of Chicken cooked in a lemon and onion sauce, with prawns as a starter but in a very spicy sauce and a nice desert cooked by another friend and colleague out here. Topped off with a few glasses of very nice red wine.

Marion a senior teacher at another of the BiLingual schools here in Bogota made the meal and it was much appreciated, Marion has a roof top terrace apartment with small trees and plants in pots around the terrace it was so different to watch the cloud rolling in over the Andes Mountains, yet it just seemed so very South American.









The meal and the company was good but the highlight for me was the visit to the terrace by a humming bird. What an amazing creature flitting from flower to flower so fast that it was almost impossible to see it move. It looked like it was in one position one moment and in a completely different one the next. I am using my Exlim Casio camera which is a great wee tool but if I had one complaint about the camera its the fact the image always seems slightly washed out and you need to add contrast after the image is taken to make the image slightly stronger. That aside the picture of this amazing creature works for me.








To be so close less than 4 feet from such an amazing bird and to marval at how fast its wings were beating to allow it to move backward and vertically up and down was stunning and definitly made my day.

Tomorrow is another day and a holiday which is nice... another day to relax..

Manyana mi amigos....
