Those little juvies are growing nicely!
I miss the tropics too. And lately, I have not even been able to visit in already too many months. One thing to note is that one tends to generalize when comparing places. For instance, Panama or many places in the tropics can look as sunny as Duanes' place at sea level, to fairly gray and chilly, and nearly constant rain in other places in Panama or Colombia, just depending of the elevation of the place you consider, and the type of habitat. Beginning at 2500 mts in elevation, much cold and gray make the general landscape, not so sunny. Not that much higher than that, it sub-paramo climate and vegetation prevail the landscape. The only difference is that in the tropics, the duration of daylight is virtually the same year round. That is not the case in temperate latitudes.
