A literal star ⭐️ in my garden. Star fruit flowers. 🌺 they produce so much fruit. Juice, salads guest appearances in pico de gallo or just fruit when they’re so perfectly ripe that the only logical thing to do is eat them.

Star fruit — or carambola — is a sweet and sour fruit that has the shape of a five-point star.

Star fruit contains many beneficial plant compounds. Animal studies show that these may reduce inflammation, cholesterol, and the risk of fatty liver. Still, humans research is lacking.

The laughing falcon is heard more than it is seen. Vocalization begins with a subtle rising of nasal oaw notes, then escalates with an incessant repetition of OAW! OAW! OAW! Just like at 📸 while he surfing. Condorito? I think not.

Estoy chillando mirando el puesto del sol. Y uno tico con la más grande mochila llegue. Me hizo una chiste y viste su stoke. Este Mae (Mauricio) avía volado su playa virgen. Pura vida.

So I’m chilling watching the sunset and this tico rolls up with the biggest mochila ever. I crack a joke and then I notice his stoke. This dude (Mauricio) had just paraglided his virgin beach. He had just flown.

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile

You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there’s always some special case, I will place
To forget etiquette

Sentinels at the temple of nature. Kapok trees. Ceiba Pentandara. A giant in the rainforests, the kapok tree can reach up to 200 feet in height, sometimes growing as much as 13 feet per year. Due to its extreme height, the kapok, or ceiba tree, towers over the other rainforest vegetation. Some varieties of the ceiba tree are characterized by spines or conical thorns, giving the tree a menacing appearance. The trunk can expand to nine or 10 feet in diameter. In the nooks and grooves of this huge plant live a diverse number of species including frogs, birds and bromeliads. The kapok tree is deciduous, shedding all of its leaves during the dry season. As its seeds are easily blown into open areas, kapok trees are some of the first to colonize open areas in the forest. The white and pink flowers of the kapok tree emit a foul odor that attracts bats. As the flying mammals move from flower to flower feasting on the nectar, they transfer pollen on their fur, thus facilitating pollination. The kapok tree does a great job at spreading its seeds, producing anywhere between 500 and 4,000 fruits at one time, with each fruit containing 200 seeds. When these fruit burst open, silky fibers spread the many seeds all over the forest.
