Not a Breath of Air

Today’s post is not strictly about the flora and fauna of Barbados, but it is related. It’s shortly after 6 am and there is not a breath of air outside. Not a leaf is moving and, considering the very windy conditions we have been experiencing, the drop in the breeze is a sure sign of rain coming very soon.

Even the birds are quiet and keeping a low profile, though they will be out and about in force once the rain has passed as they will be foraging on the bounty of insects brought out by the rain.

Though it is the rainy season here in Barbados, we haven’t actually had that much yet. Most of the weather has been passing to the south of us, giving Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago and parts of South America more than their fair share of rain. It’s early days yet, we’ll get our bit too. The good part about no rain is … no mosquitos@
