Cloud Forests

This is what it looks like sometimes when the mist climbs up the canyon after a rainstorm. The mist gets really thick and at times the forest/jungle gets very quiet and it feels like we are in a different realm. It only lasts a few hours when it happens, but it has a very mystic feeling. 

Today, the thunder sounded like a shotgun going off in my front yard. Then the rain poured for over an hour and 2 hours after the rain stopped the mist appeared. The picture does not do it justice.

My puppies love these caterpillars, but I think they are really creepy. They move together in a little crawling swarm and I understand that they turn into butterflies and turn beautiful ...but YUCK!

I also have a correction from yesterday. I tried a batch of the good coffee this morning and yep....there is a BIG difference. When I grind the bad beans, they look just like the regular good coffee, but there is definitely a difference between a batch of the good stuff and drinking the bad bean stuff! Maybe I will just feed my husband the bad beans and add extra creamer in his coffee...haha
