Frangipani

The Frangipani, common in the tropics, is one of my favourite trees.  If you've ever smelt its flowers you'll know why.  We're lucky enough to have this one right outside our bedroom window.  Just something to remember home by while I'm fighting my way through the London rush hour.

Extreme natural beauty

Wildfowl_trust_small_a_01 The Caribbean island we live on is blessed with incredible natural beauty.  Not only are there beautiful beaches and mountains, but there are also important habitats for wetland wildlife. 

Today, I was lucky enough to be able to make a donation from work to one of the wildlife conservation outfits here.  Just a couple of the sights from the wetlands they are working hard to protect.  Long may they do so.
