I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

A morning visitor on the patio door, this European Mantis doesn't seem to realise it's camouflage doesn't work on white UPVC.

Processional caterpillars are on the march. Seen at Quinta da Balaia earlier

If you don't know about them, do not touch. They also have a nasty habit of dropping out of trees.

And OK horticulturalists, what's this weird looking plant when it's at home? Stood about 6 feet high.

The plant is apparently one of these - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave_americana

It flowers only once , towards the end of its thirty year lifespan, which is maybe why we don't see it very often in this form.

More than two dozen turtles were under the car park bridge at the Saldagos
Lagoon today competing with wildfowl and fish for food. Most of the turtles are larger than dinner plates.

There weren't any turtles to be seen the other day when I was there. Perhaps they were still asleep!

On the subject of food, where's my dinner?


Ah here comes mummy!


Yesterday at the railway station.

Now, why are some crabs left handed? And why do they sit waving that big claw?

Pictures yesterday in Portimão but relevant to crabs here and everywhere.
