In my Venezuela there are crocodiles, alligators and babos. In Venezuela there are 5 species of crocodiles, there are the Orinoco River crocodiles, the coastal crocodile and 3 species of the Alligatoridae family, they are called the morichal babo, the black babo and the babo or spectacled caiman. *Babo* or *baba* is how people refer to them. The latter is the one that most abounds in our plains and, together with the Orinoco crocodile, they are the only ones that I know…

Land of grace. My country, Venezuela is a land truly rich in natural treasures. It ranks seventh as a country in the world with the greatest diversity of wild animal species, occupying different places when it comes to species classification. It has a climatic diversity that can be observed just by going from one town to another. I live in the eastern part of the country, which is made up of four states, *Monagas*, *Sucre*, *Nueva Esparta* and my state of *Anzoátegui*. In…

Another beautiful region of Venezuela. The Andes region is on the Andes mountain range. The states of Mérida, Táchira and Trujillo are the cities that form it. Mérida is also in intimate contact with the state of Barinas, you can go up to the mountain and end up leaving Barinas and do not realize until you enter the city of Mérida. Unless you see the welcome notices, and it’s also in contact with the Apure state, a purely flat region dedicated to livestock such as Barinas.…

Dwarf plants. I love nature, I love to lose myself at times in my little jungle, my garden. I have a lot of plants there, some of them planted in the ground but the vast majority is planted in pots. I had a *bougainvillea* tree, such a beautiful tree, but it had very thick roots and was lifting the cement floor next to it, to about 12 inches, and the fence of my house that protects us from the outside was breaking too. I had to make the sad decision to cut down my entire…

The pleasure of giving life. Plants grow all over the world, each place has its own climate and soil characteristics to develop plants that are beautiful, sometimes rare *and* beautiful, sometimes they are exotic and at the same time they are beautiful. Each thing, each plant, each flower, no matter how strange, rare or unusual it may seem will always have the beauty that comes from being a unique plant in its creation. In the most humid areas of my country we will always…

The evergreen forests. Mangroves: The mangroves are plants that develop in the coastal regions and serve as a containment wall for the erosion of these coasts. They have most of their roots submerged in water and their stem is visible to all. They are grouped in such quantity that in the water they form a criss-cross of roots that serves as a habitat for more than 140 species of aquatic animals and in its upper part, the one visible to our surroundings, they form a kind of…

Thanks @xzeon for being my first sponsor. I am very happy that you have considered me for this. Actually I still don't know exactly how a sponsor works but I will learn it. Thanks a lot!!

The Last Supper. She was a sociopath, just no one knew yet. It all started with her sad childhood, when she was aware of what he was doing. Maybe it started much earlier but she didn't tell me that part. I don't think she knew it herself. His parents were abusers, they treated all their children badly including her. Christy grew up in an environment where she found no escape from her torments and let off steam by doing small evils, breaking things she found in her way… And…

I am very grateful for my new two sponsors @purebeauty and @TrusuccessXpert. Thanks to them I am more encouraged to continue writing more and better posts on this platform of read.cash.

Flowers of the diefembaquia and clovers. Diefembaquia : It is a plant with long leaves and a wide variety of shades of combinations of green and white in its leaves. It is its origin from Brazil. It is a plant suitable for living indoors. Since it must be in semi-shadow. It supports the clarity of the sun but not its direct exposure to it. Its leaves burn when they are directly in the sun. That itself must receive moisture in its floors to maintain the beauty of its leaves.…

Recycling. I collected many empty plastic containers that contained water. Now on these Christmas dates people discarded many of these containers and I only picked them up where I saw them. Then I put them on water and washed them. I collected about 20 of them. Then I cut the bottom off, less than half the size of the container with it and then proceeded to open some holes in the bottom. Then I added some soil to them, I prepared this soil myself by mixing compost with soil…

My wet succulents and lilac flowers. My wet succulents: This succulent is called *Graptoveria Fenix*, It has thick stems like all succulents, with fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette shape, it’s like a flower but there are multiple overlapping leaves. As its leaves have been exposed to the sun, which are normally gray, now they take various colors as you can see, like red, pink, yellow, green and gray. Yesterday it rained a little, which has not happened for about two…

Recycling plants or replanting. I don't know if it can be said that plants can be recycled or should I say replant but I think we can reproduce plants from small parts of their body, as long as certain parameters are maintained, so that the plant can grow back from that minimum expression. During the month of November a friend from the country came to visit my house and as a gift for the production in his lands blessed by God, he brought me a beautiful pumpkin, some…

Dwarf anthurium. The Anthurium. It’s native to the tropical areas of Central and South America. Its scientific name is *Anthurium*. Its common name in my country is *Cala*. This is a dwarf species; the flowers are small and the heart-shaped leaves are dark green, these leaves are smaller than the large-flowered calla lilies. It’s also known as the flower of love. I read somewhere that it was known in ancient times as an aphrodisiac flower, I don’t know if because the shape…

Plants of red demon chili, sweet peppers and paprika. The red demon chili plant is a shrubby plant where many green fruits grow, but when they ripen they have this characteristic red color. Its scientific name is *Capsicum Anuum*. It’s a plant with the same characteristics as the chili pepper plant, but the difference is that these fruits are small, elongated, red and very hot. A friend came to my house to buy some cacti and then he came back to bring me some chili pepper…

Touring the country. Venezuela is a country where God poured out all his love on nature. I’ll write about all the states and talk about each of the wonders that were created there. I don’t deny Christopher Columbus's reason when he arrived at one of these places in the country and decided to name it *"land of grace."* If I had seen every corner of Venezuela, I don't know what name I would have designated it by. Our country is divided into 23 federal states, a capital…

The whisper of the mountain. It was a good day to go hunting, I needed meat so it was best to get out as fast as I could. I headed towards the mountains, perhaps there was more opportunity than down there at the foot of the mountain. On the way there I stocked up on berries, they are always good when supplies run out. Found these red berries that I never saw before, but they had to pass quality control first so I waited for the birds to eat them to know if they are good for…

The impossible is also possible. These have been difficult times, but it has not been impossible to get out of them. I believe that the word impossible exists for those who don’t want to fight for their goals. My life has been a constant struggle, I no longer want to say thanks to X or thanks to Y I got such a thing, I just want to say that I am grateful to God for allowing me to have as many opportunities for me to move on. In 4 months I will have spent 2 years not…

These cacti are like the beauty and the beast. This is my fairy castle, this is how this cactus receives its name in its current form but its scientific name is *Acanthocereus tetragonus* cactus. This cactus has been quite a *beauty*. I always have many cacti of the same species, but this cactus was the only one of its species I had with me, until I could get it to stay healthy and pest free and now I can finally reproduce it. It belongs to the *cactaceae* family, its…

Domestic cats. Nowadays, pets exist in all families. There are those who prefer dogs and there are those who prefer cats, there are also others who enjoy having both. In my home we only have one cat named *Copito*, and we are visited on a day-to-day basis by too many cats from the neighbors and the streets that come to fight in my garden, destroying my plants. In ancient Egypt they loved cats so much to the point of veneration. Why? Because they worshiped the god *Ra*, he…

My cherry plant. This week I was able to notice that another of my potted plants was blooming. It was my cherry plant's turn. My organic phosphorus fertilizer is giving good results to encourage flowering. The fruit of the cherry plant has several common names in my country such as *"Cemeruco”* or *“Cerecita”* and *“Cereza"*. It belongs to the *Malpighiaceae* family. It’s a shrubby plant that can grow up to two meters high, but I cut the taproot last year along with three…

Difficult moments during even more difficult situations in life. Apart from the situation of uncertainty generated today by the measures that took place in my country in the month of December, which are *so* lacking in planning, there is the randomness of placing restrictions on customer service offices. I mean that one week public workers work and another week they don't, but here in these lands of God, you never really know what they do anymore. Last year in a flat…

The God in her heart. She believes in her protective angels, believes in a unique God who is always by her side and who forgives and loves like no one else does. Since she was a child, she went through many circumstances that eventually led her to have the opinion that she has today about her spiritual beings. Memories that come to her mind today from very early times in her life. For example, she remembered that day she was with her family and friends on the beach, she was…

What should be done? I consider myself a very optimistic woman, I’m one hundred percent positive, but days like this one show me the horrible things that happen around many people in my country. I told my son that my brain is so crushed with so many situations today that I don't know what to write about and he just told me, "Just write about what happened to you today." and that's what I’m doing now. Since the beginning of the pandemic many things have changed in the…

A walk with wonders. This country is a place with many creations of man that have amazed the world. Apart from all his natural beauties created by God in his infinite goodness, mankind many years ago worried about leaving many marks of his genius in different regions of Venezuela. In the state of Mérida there is the *Mucumbarí* tourist cable car, which is the second longest in the world. It has a route of almost 13 meters long that gives it the second place as the longest…

A love tragedy from ancient Greece. I like the stories of ancient cultures, the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans and among others. The history of the old gods can be fanciful but I like the imagination that can be given to a story, and then there is our imagination, which flies to the rhythm of the reading forging our own adventure. The history of Greek gods and those of their progeny is one of those that I will advance in this chapter. It’s a sad love story, although many love…

The mystery of the dictator's house… and other things. *General Marcos Pérez Jiménez* was one of the presidents of Venezuela who ruled from 1952 to 1958 as a dictator. As far as I know, after having visited many cities in my country, he was the president who had much more to do with many of the most important constructions of those times and that still remain due to the quality of the structure of its kind. During his government, structures such as the Mérida cable car about…
