Last week I had the great pleasure to be visited by a fellow steemian, and I gotta tell you this, she’s even more awesome than you could glean from her posts. Not to mention, it’s always great to put a face to a steemit handle, but that’s a subject for another day.
Anyways, so there we were getting ready ready to leave the house me, her, and a friend of mine who was also visiting, we open the door and the army of flying monkeys was right there in front of us feeding on some fruit trees in my terrace.
My friend Angeline is a great photographer, she ran to her bag, grabbed her camera, sat down on the floor and started taking pictures.
So today I wanted to share with you a few pics of the lovely animals that live nearby, and hopefully to the positive side of living surrounded by nature.
I hope you enjoy them.
P.S: In case some other fellow steemians want to come over and visit, know you are welcome as well. I think it’s always great to meet and host fellow steemians :)
Mitch, The Muncher
Mandy, The Mandarin Lover
Woody, The Woodpecker
Newton, The Toucan
Raul, The Friendly Owl
Tommy and Tony, The Twins
K-PAX, The Bird in a Blue Dress
The last one is an homage to the brilliant movie K-PAX:"Blue birds don't exist!"

Great photos! This looks like a place I'd like to visit (and maybe finish a novel). ; )

Of course, you're absolutely welcome!
I'm writing a novel here too :) There's something about nature and calm that's great for writing.
Looking forward to your next book! Btw, which cover you ended up picking after all?

I may have to take you up on that! Ah, what's your book about? That would be the perfect setting to spark the creative mind.
I decided on this one:
The book designer's working on the interior and back cover now. I think we're set for a mid-June launch. I'm going to be publishing a few posts leading up to the launch and am, of course, open to any ideas you might have. Have a good day, Adil!

Oh yeah, you're absolutely welcome! There's plenty of room don't worry. There's an entire floor upstairs that is unused. Great view in the balcony for writing.
Yeah I'll be glad to help out with that, I'll tell you more in message better I think :)
I know I've said this, but great cover! :)

That would be awesome @the-alien. I appreciate the invitation and will definitely take you up on it, hopefully soon. I already have ideas brewing for novel #3.
As always, I appreciate the offer to help, I'll message you about it later. I'm hoping that Leon will play a part in the launch as well.
Thanks, I'm really happy with the cover. This book designer is really exceeding my expectations. He's working on the interior design now, I can't wait to see that. I hope you're enjoying your day, man!

These are beautiful photos my friend! A city boy like me can't even wrap his head around the fact that all of these beautiful animals are just right outside your window. My kids get excited when there is a rabbit in our yard lol!

Haha yeah these are perks of living in an island. Both city and rural living have perks and things you miss actually.
I'm sure that living in the city is better children though. Maybe some summer vacation from time to time to a place where there is a lot of animals and your kids will be excited all the summer.
Hope you are doing well my friend, and that all is great with you and your beautiful family.

Great pictures! It's fun to have animals around, unless they make a nuisance of themselves. I like how you named each of them.

Thanks Tom! Yeah I know what you mean, but luckily they are not a nuisance at all, the only thing that happened in months is that one of the monkeys stole my friend's bread when no one was home... She wasn't mad at all, she thought it was funny to come back home and see the monkey at the window eating her bread.
It's not so bad really.
Those wild turkeys though were a bit of a handful :P So I know what you mean.

In Brazil too, just that I live in an island that is a mix of a modern city and the nature is preserved, there are a lot of fruit trees and the animals come to feed so I guess you're right, I live in a zoo :P
