Up close and personal with my favourite succulent in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico

* edit! * A renowned agave expert reliably informs me that it´s not Agave Tequilana Azul, but Agave Americana Var Expansa, you live and learn…

Chameleon Cars

A year ago or more I started my “Cars that resemble where they’re parked” Flickr set that then spawned a video and now I’m getting submissions from Jorge, Ana’s son. Which is grand.

Aquí van las fotos de Jorge de carros cameleones por el Parque Metropolitano de GDL:

Gracias, Jorge!

Other news. Temperatures have finally plunged. Rain’s expected daily and all is right with the meteorological world. Atticus is a bit out of sorts though, I think it’s the drop in atmospheric pressure.

Went to see Inland Empire, David Lynch’s latest from last year, yesterday. But I had to leave after an hour or so cos the cinema was packed, badly air conditioned and I’m not a huge Lynch fan at the best of times. Anyroad, it started off OK for what it’s worth. I’ll catch it on DVD at a later date.

M & D leave for Bucerias today not far from Chacala. Maybe Atticus has picked up on that and is anticipating missing them… And we’ve got a few days to finish off various things before next weekend’s fun with Sally and Martin. So

Monarchy

Butterfly in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico… The common name “monarch” was coined in 1874 by Samuel H. Scudder because “it is one of the largest of our butterflies, and rules a vast domain”.
