Caminho para trilha da Lagoinha do Leste
O nome Matadeiro é muito antigo, provém da época em que era permitido caçar baleias.
O caminho pitoresco e agreste atrai muitos turistas durante o verão, especialmente surfistas que fogem do agito das praias tradicionais em busca de boas ondas e areia calma.
Localizada entre as praias da Armação e Lagoinha do Leste, a praia do Matadeiro é relativamente tranquila, com acesso somente a pé, cerca de 200 metros, depois de atravessar o rio que vem da Lagoa do Peri.
Inacessível para carros, a praia ainda conserva seus morros cobertos pela mata nativa. É um convite para os apreciadores da natureza.

My wife and I visited Las Vegas to check out Red Flag 21-3, a big exercise for the USAF, Navy, and some foreign countries. It's a great experience watching so many warplanes coming and going. Las Vegas in August is HOT - as in over 100 degrees so we were sweltering. I still can't seem to get consistent tack sharp photos of the high speed takeoffs so I will keep practicing. Any advice is welcome.
I took these photos outside of Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, in early August 2021.

Ah, the joy of sipping on the yellow nectar of these fuzzy red Hot Lips! Yes, that's what these flowers really are called!
There are over 2,000 species of Psychotria, the genus under which Hot Lips falls. Where does Hot Lips grow? Psychotria elata is part of the tropical rainforest understory flora of the Americas. It is a unique plant with uninteresting flowers but fabulous lip-like bracts. The plant can be difficult to grow and has very special cultivation conditions.
Hot lips grows as a shrub or small tree. The plant has deeply veined simple leaves of matte green. The flower is actually a pair of modified leaves that "pout" around the tiny star-like white to cream flowers. These become small bluish-black berries. The plant is very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Heliconius melpomene, the postman butterfly, common postman or simply postman, is one of the heliconiine butterflies found from Mexico to northern South America. Several species in the genus have very similar markings and are difficult to distinguish.
