Speaking Of Tropical Bugs

Gasteracantha cancriformis has moved in to our backyard.
 A 1912 text called The Spider Book noted: "A remarkable feature of the webs of this species is the frequent occurrence in them of series of flocculent tufts of silk attached to either the radii or to some of the foundation lines. These tufts are composed of a mass of fine threads, like those of which a stabilimentum is made."

Boat Parade 2012!

 After an afternoon of draping christmas lights
 and the official Seaplane flyover
we shoved off of the already teeming boardwalk
to get to the staging area
 for our first boat parade on a boat!
After a few laps around Protestant Cay
the fireworks started.
and so begins the Christmas cheer on St Croix
Smiling's her favorite.
