   Here are a few shots of some palms in Manaus and immediate vicinity. I went out and took a few today. I will get some more to add tomorrow, and later. The main terminal at Eduardo Gomes International Airport, the ponds are full of turtles and local fish like the tambaqui. Estrada da Cidade Nova, a main street close to my house. There was a time when the city was into planting Oil Palms, they have switched now to Royals - will be shown in a later image.

   OK, it's hardly an exotic location, but I thought it would be worth posting a few pics of my October visit. This is an outside view of the larger greenhouse (biome), which is themed as "humid tropics" This is the slightly smaller biome, which is host to "warm temperate" species. A waterfall inside the humid tropics biome, which is a major source of humidity for the biome.

    Cocos at Sea World Orlando

    When I arrived at SeaWorld today, I was pleasently surprised with some fat@$$ foxtails when you pay for parking. I couldn't get a good picture (all blurry) since I had to keep moving. But, they were some FAT dudes. Looked great. SeaWorld's coconuts look amazing. There were some really tall ones. And, it seemed like there was a cocos on every corner! I was in heaven. I'm sorry for the terrible quality, I took these pictures from my cellphone. It only let me take a picture of a few (it was not being cooperative!) and for the others it said "photo failed" or something like that. I was TICKED. I tried to get a pic of a REALLY tall coconut, but my phone did not work with m…

    Royal Palm Ranch

    I drive by this ranch all the time as I go over to work on our business in Itacoatiara, 260 kms from Manaus. This time I decided to stop and take a picture. I think it has a great setting surrounded by forest, babaçu palms (Attaleas) with some nice royal palms in the yard. The road is on a high crest at this point and looks down at the place. You can also notice our winter weather pattern sky. It seems the rainy season has started. We get a few days like this and then 3 or 4 sunny ones. It is nice to see the temperature go down a bit. dk

    Some more road side shots

    Since I have received a lot of positive input on some of my roadside shots I have a few more. And, I would like to thank Gileno for his documentation of his trip. I find it a good way to make the trip more interesting looking for palm and related shots. This trip we took up to Boa Vista, Roraima leaving early Monday morning and returning on Saturday this week. The trip to Boa Vista is on BR 174 and is about 800 kms. If the road were in good shape it would be an easy trip. Unortunately like many Brazilian highways the highway is a mess. The holes sometimes look like they will swallow your car. This highway was only paved 6 years ago and is already in a sad state of …

    We had some friends from England visiting our home in Sirinhaém last saturday and we decided to rent a small motorboat to show them around the river mangroves and coconuts near the mouth. This friend is a retired journalist of BBC and his wife is a children books writer and publisher in UK. They are now seriously planning to buy a summer house in my neighborhood to spend a few months each year among our coconuts...let's see...

    I had a short business trip yesterday to Escada and Primavera, two small towns ~80 Km southwest of Recife. On my way back I decided to go to the beach in Sirinhaém to check my palms. I took a few pictures of wild grown and cultivated palms, mostly amidst the oceanic sugarcane plantations and small Atlantic forest preserves near the local roads, driving through typical "Zona da Mata" environment:
