Although he has one of the last tin & wood houses on our family compound, his tidy house and garden is the charming ideal of tropic life.<br /><br />I spent a few afternoons at my uncle's house having lunch. After a filling meal of tuna and rice (cooked on the wood-fueled stove), I took some pics of the inside and outside kitchens, and the surrounding property. The carnival of plant life and color, was almost too vibrant -- a feast for the senses. I especially loved the Asian touches Aunt Amy accented throughout their home.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramimi/510560388/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/510560388_561887ea95.jpg" alt="Saipan, A'be's house - petta (door)" height="457" width="500" /></a><br /><i>petta</i> (door)</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramimi/510560386/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/195/510560386_d9830c21f9.jpg" alt="Saipan, A'be's house - kusina (inside kitchen)" height="500" width="370" /></a><br /><i>kusina</i> (inside kitchen)</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramimi/510560384/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/199/510560384_7f916994b3.jpg" alt="Saipan, A'be's house - firewood stove" height="500" width="375" /></a><br />All the cooking is done in the outside kitchen.

He helps tend to the big garden and banana trees, and will often accompany my uncle on his nightly hunts. Roger's one of the many folks who have stayed on the family compound for many years he's become an extension of our huge brood.<br /><br />I took this during a visit to my uncle to gather the silk/cotton-like fibers from the kapok tree, known as <i>Ceiba pentandra</i>, or <i>algidon</i> in Chamorro, for use as stuffing for a plush animal project with my nieces. The kapok fibers are sometimes used as a "green" resource for stuffing.

The kapok fibers are sometimes used as a "green" resource for stuffing in pillows, quilts and the like - they are harvested from the dried pod fibers, with no harm to the tree.<br /><br />The old <i>algidon</i> tree on my Uncle A'be's property is about 3 to 4 stories high, and has been thriving for over 60 years. A big thank you to Roger (shown above) for gathering this kapok harvest.<br /><br />Kapok web sources:<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapok">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapok</a><br /><a href="http://www.hear.org/pier/species/ceiba_pentandra.htm">www.hear.org/pier/species/ceiba_pentandra.htm</a><br /><a href="http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/kapok.htm">www.blueplanetbiomes.org/kapok.htm</a></p>caramimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11025542535068299330noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154860526424512768.post-3404139368533053692007-04-13T22:47:00.001+10:002007-04-14T20:02:23.396+10:00Saipan - Crusty x sustainable design<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 0px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramimi/456368610/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/244/456368610_6b8bebd07a.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caramimi/456368610/">Saipan - Crusty x sustainable design</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/caramimi/">*caramimi*</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> I heard about a little land crab on our property, that uses a baby jar for a home. By sheer coincidence I found him hanging around the discarded coconuts last night. Apparently they hold nightly meetings between the trash can and coconuts. Funny huh?<br /><br />This is an <i>umang</i> or hermit crab. Usually they occupy discarded snail shells to protect their soft lower bodies, but looks like this one decided to modernize. Very resourceful!</p>caramimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11025542535068299330noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154860526424512768.post-44892027696599493672007-04-09T14:03:00.001+10:002007-04-09T14:03:29.890+10:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/santos/432330497/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/164/432330497_047108eb28.jpg" width="500" height="329" alt="fuzzy day at the pool." /></a><br /><br />talk zori coming soonsantos.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.com0
