We spent the day walking around the trails. There were quite an array of wild birds – many nesting. One of the Ibis nesting in the trees shat on my camera!! It was hell getting the mess off!

Poetry – Animals Burn
Animals Burn
While animals fry and fires burn
The perpetrators never seem to learn.
Lands flood and other lands dry
But some people never ask why.
So, profits are made and trees fall
And they do not care at all.
The lies are spread in a cynical way
And the future looks decidedly grey.
Green laws are repealed,
The truth concealed,
Money stashed,
Habitats crashed.
Time for the great backlash!!
OUR PLANET IS WORTH MORE THAN HARD CASH!!!

Belem – The Botanical Gardens
We grabbed a taxi and headed straight out of the city heading for the Botanical gardens. It was like a chunk of rainforest on the edge of the city, full of wildlife and fabulous trees and plants. It did not look as if there had been much planting or maintenance – just how I like it. It teemed with wildlife.
Alter Do Chao – Brazil – into the flooded forest. Photos.
We hired a canoe to take us into the flooded forest. Every year the lagoon levels rise and much is submerged. It makes for an interesting habitat. We slowly drifted through submerged trees and over the floor of the rainforest. All around us were birds and wildlife.
It was fabulous. A different world.
