Morning Glory and Mangroves

Morning glory growing down (or up) a mangrove (another red one, showing off its roots well). This is in the HT North Nature Reserve on the edge of the aptly named Mangrove Lake.

Holy Trinity Church, Bailey's Bay

Holy Trinity Church, Bailey's Bay

An old Anglican church in Bailey's Bay, Hamilton Parish almost on the shore of Harrington Sound. This has a particular connection with my family as it was the location for the marriage of my first ancestors in Bermuda, in 1782.

St James Court

Condominiums with gorgeous views - into Flatts Inlet and out and beyond towards Gibbets Island and the North Shore. My friend's family has an apartment there and they talk about how they can gaze out over the inlet and have competitions counting the number of rays that swim past!

Lionfish at the Aquarium (BAMZ)

A weird and wonderful looking fish! Although these are invasive fish that originated in the Pacific but have made their way to the Caribbean and are causing a real problem in the islands down there. In Bermuda they are luckily not yet plentiful, but studies are already underway to learn about their impact on our reefs and also to cull them. I'm grateful not to speak from my own experience, but I know that they pack a powerful blow with their venom.

Evening Light on the Eastern Cliffs of Harrington Sound

Oops I missed a post. Sorry! After the lizard post I decided I could take a photograph of a kiskadee as a follow-up. But I didn't actually see one when I had my camera in hand. In the evening we went out boating in Harrington Sound under gorgeous evening light as shown here, and I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday. Hope you enjoy this one!

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.

Rabbit Island, Harrington Sound

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