The Saga of the Vessel Circadian: Barra birds, Colima, Comala

It's my last week in Barra de Navidad, so I've been squeezing in a lot. Besides doing the projects and chores I need to do to leave on Saturday, I've shot some more bird photos in the lagoon, had dinner several times with friends old and new, and taken an excursion to Colima, Nogueras, Comala and the Colima volcano. The last owner of the hacienda in Nogueras was an artist, gardener, anthropologist, and more in addition to being a plantation owner and maker of sugar and booze. The old hacienda is now a fascinating museum. Unfortunately, I couldn't photograph the many ancient and beautiful artifacts that were actually dug up on the property. The Colima volcano is one of the most active in the world. The most recent eruption was last February. That's why we couldn't get too close! If you look closely, you might be able to see the wisp of steam or smoke emerging. The rest is in the photos; again, in sections.
