Lizard, Centipede, Mongoose, Monkeys and Mormons

This is a little orange friend that keeps me company when I'm washing dishes at the kitchen sink.  He is quiet and a little shy.  He doesn't offer to help but he won't go away!

If you look closely in the grass you'll see one of those creatures we're all afraid of.  You can chop them in half or in pieces with a shovel or scissors or whatever is handy,.......but that doesn't mean they'll die!  They bite with the little black-tipped pincers you see in the two pictures below, which is the part that carries their poison.


Lost the picture of the other end that Brother DeCosta was brave enough to pick up in his fingers when it was trying to get away and hide in the grass!!!  Darn computer!!!!  $#*%@!!!  Oh well!!!   So then let's look at something else.......

Like these monkeys at Ship Wreck--Momma's and their babies.  I'll be quiet now so you can watch.
Oops.  No sign that says not to feed the mongoose!     OK!   Now, I'll be quiet . . . . ..
These were two of the "Sister" monkey-watchers that Sunday afternoon,.......

......and these are all three.   The mountains behind them are the peninsula (handle) end of St. Kitts.  The furthest is the island of Nevis under the cloud.  Atlantic Ocean to the left and Caribbean Sea to the right.   
OK, shhhhhhhhhhhh, the Momma monkeys are back.  They brought their babies.  Don't frighten them away.........shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
