Photo: Croton Plants Come in All Shapes and Sizes

Today, somewhere on the Motobu Peninsula we came across these characters.

Dozens of photos were taken, from both sides of a road running, alongside a river bank.

This photo I'm posting just to give an idea of the sizes, shapes and colors they come in.

In English they are called Croton Plants.  Codiaeum varigatum would be the scientific name.

There are plenty more I'll be posting if things ever slow down around here.

Meanwhile, if you missed the variety posted earlier, go have a look at:

WHOA, BABY.  LOOKS LIKE WE'VE CAPTURED A CODIAUM VARIGATUM !

Photo: Colors in Nature

When you get tired of staring at a computer monitor, try this.

Get out and look at some of the colors nature provides for you.

The past two days, I've been staring at computer screens.

Tomorrow, I'm outta here !

When It's Wet in the Forest (Photos)

On a rainy day, when the forest is wet, you can walk quietly.

The wildlife won't be out but, you can hear the waterfalls.

Streams of fast-moving water splash over the rocks.

And they swirl around them, making white patches in dark areas.

When everything is wet, brown colors look dark but, greens look greener.

When it's wet in the forest, you can have the place all to yourself.  Try it sometime.  It's cool.
