A Morning's Entertainment

I realize that hot air has been featured many times in the past days, but it is providing much entertainment. The 'whooshing' sound of balloon jets had all of us out on the balcony in our pajamas this morning. No doubt we were a source of entertainment for photographers with zoom lenses. ;-) These folks got an up close view of the banana grove.

A little later a hoopoe arrived at the North window. I don't know what causes them to peck away at the window frame, but since they are my good luck omen I am not about shoo them away.
