Caribbean Flamingos

A Visit to the Zoo

In fact, this is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. It showcases local fish and also animals from other islands. These are the Caribbean Flamingos. In the early 1990's some were bred and placed back in the wild to begin a new breeding colonies.

Hillside of Sweet Pastels

Bermuda homes and gardens - traditional pinks and peaches with few uniques mixed in.

This is the hillside around Lolly's Well, Smith's, and viewed from Harrington Sound.

Spittal Pond

A glassy calm Spittal Pond reflecting morning clouds

Spanish Rock, Spittal Pond

Spanish Rock, or more correctly Portuguese, at sunrise. The plaque shows the inscription by a shipwrecked sailor, originally thought to be a Spaniard, but was probably in fact Portuguese.

Hurricane Spider

Hurricane Spider, as the Golden Silk Spider is locally known.

It's said that you know a hurricane is coming if they start spinning webs low to the ground. When they're up high you know you'll be storm free for a while.

Rabbit Island, Harrington Sound

Rabbit Island, in Harrington Sound. It's owned by the National Trust and makes for a peaceful spot.

Club Med goes BANG BANG BANG!!

This was an old Club Med hotel, previously a Holiday Inn, but it has been a derelict eyesore for the last 20 years or so. It finally was brought down today in less than 5 seconds by tons of dynamite. Sooo exciting!! The area had been cordoned off but 100s boats anchored offshore for prime viewing. Just a normal Monday morning event here in Bermuda...I wish!

Old Chapel, Heydon Trust in Somerset

This quaint old chapel exhibits some characteristic Bermuda architecture. The structure in the foreground is actually the roof of a water tank, collecting rain from the roof. Purest water available!

Welcome to the first of my views of Bermuda. The island is beautiful in every light.

This is 9 Beaches Resort - accommodations are canvas cabanas, some with the ocean lapping underneath! It sits on its own peninsula at Daniel's Head at the west end of the Island.
