| An orchid - even though it is not yet orchid season |

| Wild Bananas |
 |
| Chirimoya (Custard Apple) - it is bizarre how this fruit grows directly out of the tree trunk |
 |
| Poinsettas - growing in the wild |

| The river that runs through the eco-lodge we stayed at. |
As if doing yoga in this jungle paradise was not enough stimulus for the body, the paths through the cloud forest offered sights and sounds to awaken the soul. The forest is incredily LOUD with cicadas, frogs, insects, birds, water flowing, etc. If you stand still, you become aware of the flitting of birds throughout the foliage. Mindo is renowned for its hummingbirds, other birds and butterflies. I did lose focus during a yoga posture when a fluorescent blue hummingbird, with a white stomach flitted back and forth around the bush in front of the lodge.There is a hummingbird here that is as big as a cardinal. It is not red, though. It is grey.
