Of course! On the north shore of Haiti, these kestrels seem to prefer coastal acacia scrub near the sea and mangroves
Haïti, mon pays,
wounded mother I'll never see.
Ma famille set me free.
Throw my ashes into the sea.
Mes cousins jamais nés
hantent les nuits de Duvalier.
Rien n'arrete nos esprits.
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.
In the forest we lie hiding,
unmarked graves where flowers grow.
Hear the soldiers angry yelling,
in the river we will go.
Tous les morts-nés forment une armée,
soon we will reclaim the earth.
All the tears and all the bodies
bring about our second birth.
Haïti, never free,
n'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme.
Tes enfants sont partis,
In those days their blood was still warm
Labadee, Haiti
The Haitian flea market contains shops and stalls offering local arts and crafts, coffee and cognac. Alongside an informal local artisan's market has grown up, the colourful merchandise consisting of everything imaginable from baskets and beads to carvings and clothing. Bartering is expected, and adds to the fun, the norm being to start negotiating at around half the asking price.

Three wonderful nurses there to help run the dispensary. Yes, that's Wanson, a MALE nurse in the middle. Male nurses, say what you will, but they are truly wonderful.
With grief for your loss, with wishes for soon recovery....

14th Jan news:
I hadn't planned on posting any more images from Haiti until this disaster hit. The house that we stayed at just 2 weeks ago is completely leveled and some of the people that stayed in the same guest house as us have died. The good news is that the orphanage that we worked in is still standing and the babies are all safe.
The chaos wrought in the desperately poor country of Haiti is hard to fathom, even as we watch it unfold on our TV screens and laptops. It’s destruction on a colossal scale.
Yet the world is not standing idly by. President Barack Obama promised an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort, including a 2,000-member Marine unit. “We have to be there for them in their hour of need,” the president said.
The United Nations released $10 million in emergency funds. Canada pledged $4.8 million. The Irish telecommunications company Digicel donated $5 million in aid and to repair the country’s damaged phone network. And there have been many, many more.
The American Red Cross has ushered in an outpouring of donations large and small, including countless $10 pledges sent via text message. The $10 text pledges alone — a Red Cross initiative backed by the U.S. State Department — banked nearly $1 million by the end of Wednesday. For onlookers with heavy hearts, such texts are a hedge against helplessness. And they’re a symbol to the millions of suffering Haitians that we’re aware of their needs. And we care.

En ce jour, j' ai une pensée pour Isabelle, et sa famille en Haiti.
Pensées aussi à ce peuple meurtrit, par ce terrible cataclisme.
** L' Homme ne sera jamais rien face à la puissance de la Nature **
On this day, I have a thought for Isabelle and her family in Haiti.
Thoughts as to what people bruised by this terrible cataclysm.
** The Man will never face the power of Nature **

Thoughts for Haïti
I was in Haïti last october and took that picture from the hotel I was in, by the way it was the Montana Hotel, up in Petionville, thinking: "I hope they never get an earthquake !"
I really hope today that no one up there was injured as we're all waiting for news after hearing about the earthquake.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The largest earthquake to hit Haiti in more than 200 years rocked the Caribbean nation Tuesday, collapsing a hospital where people screamed for help and heavily damaging other buildings. U.S. officials reported bodies lying in the streets and an aid official described "total disaster and chaos."
Communications were widely disrupted, making it impossible to get a full picture of damage as powerful aftershocks shook a desperately poor country where many buildings are flimsy. Electricity was out in some places.
