Buenos Aires Botanical Park & The Glorious Inhabitants!

Standard

It was VERY hot today in Buenos Aires! The flowers were wilting. These handsome guys want you to tell me who they are?

I look a lot like a yellow Kookabara?

The park is a sanctuary for hundreds of sweet cats. Local volunteers feed and care for them and pay for Vet care, but they are still homeless kitties. Here is just one.

About cindy knoke

I retired early after 27 years as a psychotherapist/mental health director (Cindy Barton LCSW) and moved to the outer limits of no-wheres-ville to a home I call "the holler." My closest neighbors are coyotes (packs and packs of them and they are HUNGRY), rattlers (lots and lots of them and they are MEAN), and free range cows/bulls (the bulls aren't too friendly either!) Forget cell phones. They don't work out here. Forget GPS, it misdirects. It's best not to wander too much out here, the people (and their dogs) are kinda twitchy. To reach the holler your turn right at the reeking chicken farm, down a bunch of pot-holed semi-streets/dirt roads, past the abandoned refrigerators and occupied old RV’s and then things get kinda dicey. My friends usual reaction to the trip to the holler is, “you’ve got to be kidding!” Or, “Next time let’s meet half way.” This is our little bit of heavenly Appalachia right here in rural California. I blog about traveling which I do about three months a year, cooking which I love, photography, usually of my food and trips, books, holler happenings, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Stop by the blog and take a peek. It’s safe. I promise. Cheers, Cindy

      • Assassination Tango, Robert Duvall’s tribute to tango, is a great choice for a rental movie night. Hit man and tango aficionado Duvall finds trapped in Buenos Aires after a killing when his escape collapses. While he awaits a new plan from his client, he spends his day in a local dance studio, wooing and dancing with a young dance instructor. Duvall is great dancer and the scenes with the dancer are magic.

  1. Lovely photos Cindy, but not so sure I like the idea of all those cats wandering around. The birds would not like them either. Feral cats are a huge problem over here in Australia
