Tropical Breakfast

Artist Notes

Possibly my favorite time of the day when we are in Grand Cayman is the early morning.  It isn’t too hot yet and a cool breeze blows from the ocean.  Gaston and I like to eat breakfast outside whenever we can and of course I decorate our table with some bougainvillea that blooms nearby.

Having stepped inside for just a minute to get another cup of coffee an opportunistic Grackle takes full advantage of our hospitality.  They don’t have a discriminating taste; in fact they’ll eat just about anything. This apparently includes seven-minute eggs.  Not wanting to disturb his breakfast,  we sit and admire his beautiful iridescent blue plumage.
