Life at Margarita Ville

When you visit, I hope you will have the sense of visiting a place where you feel you have been before.

A few days ago, while taking a stroll down to the Pastaza with our resident photographer and jack-of-all-trades, Jessie Walker we stumbled across several natural wonders, the likes of which never cease to amaze me.

Below, in an unnamed creek that feeds another unnamed creek that feeds into the Margajita and ends up in the Pastaza we found this mass of green that appears just ready to bloom. What it is?....I have no idea...but who needs a name.

This rubbery looking fungus was growing on a culvert over the same creek and have been told by one self proclaimed expert that it is good o eat. I am waiting for a second opinion.

High in a tree in an orchard of guyava trees this fan shaped parasite looks almost like turkey feathers, an Indian headdress.... or maybe even a giant sunflower.

Along the road to the Pastaza a waterlogged piece of driftwood hosts another fungus family that adds more color and beauty to the landscape.
