RICH GREEN OF THE RAINY SEASON
Southern Hemisphere summer brings rain and agricultural growth. This post is mostly pictures of the breathtaking beauty of this island.

Some say you cannot swim in Lake Titicaca, but this beach curvs around a relatively shallow bay that can warm quite nicely on a sunny day. White sand perfect for beach volleyball, sand catles, or just hanging out. Once in a while the family makes it an outing. Not yet this year, but we will!

Baby black sheep huddles from the wind. |
Look closely at the horizon line below, the magnificent snow-capped peaks of the Bolivian Cordillera Real appears among the clouds. In rainy season, we are always blessed for this view. I thought the arch made a fine frame, but here we have one of many half-finished houses on the Island.
