Beach Impressions

A little abstract of Horseshore beach in the evening

Carter House

This pretty 17th century stone cottage is thought to be one of the oldest buildings still standing in Bermuda. Today it is the St David's Island Historical Society Museum.

Tucker House

A plaque on the wall of Tucker House, a Bermuda National Trust property in the Town of St George. What really caught my eye though was the shadows of the rough plastering thrown by the early morning light.

So peaceful...

Cottage

Cottage on Harrington Sound. This definitely competes for top place on my list of dream homes...

Wisps

Wisps of cloud in the morning

A Bermuda-ful Day

Fry

An abstract-y photo of fry jumping, being chased by some larger sploshes, maybe round robins or jacks?

Cassava Leaf in Raindrop

This is the cassava plant whose tuber root with be dug up, scrubbed, peeled, grated, then mixed with egg and layered with chicken to make the most delicious traditional Christmas fare - Cassava Pie. I'm getting ready for Christmas already haha!

End of the day, Back on the moorings

Our family boat, Total Madness or sometimes known more simply as The Red Boat.

Heydon Trust Chapel

I thought it was time to show another photograph of the little Heydon Trust chapel in Somerset, this time looking slightly more obviously a chapel.

 In the previous post (24th August) I was interested in the architecture of the external water tank in the rear. But on this side the buttresses are also an interesting feature. The prop-open window blinds show off another vernacular feature of Bermuda buildings - keep the sun off and the rain out while letting light in and keeping the inside cool.

A Pretty Puddle

I suppose you could say I enjoy seeing the ordinary in a new light!

Wet Casaurina Needles

Abstracty photograph of light through the wet casaurina needles - the droplets light up like gems

Osprey

An osprey circling high over Harrington Sound, along the cliffs of Abbot's Cliff

Dragon Wing Begonias

Some pretty red Dragon Wings begonias at the foot of our poinciana tree. I've noticed some wreaths on doors already and am starting to feel a bit Christmas-sy! Well it is middle of November already.

Pitman's Pond, on the Somerset Long Bay East nature reserve. This piece of property was bought through the 'Buy Back Bermuda' initiative of the Bermuda National Trust and the Bermuda Audubon Society which collected donations from the public. Now this land will be saved from any future development.

My Wheels

Over at Tobacco Road, NYD has been noticing more scooters on the roads in Tokyo as people strive to beat the credit crunch. I knew these were the way forward a long time ago! They're gas rodents + no getting stuck in traffic jams or driving round and round looking for a parking space! So here is my photo to celebrate the 50cc scooter - my Kymco People taking in the views.

Daylilies

These are probably my favourite flowers. These two daylilies are ones which I created through hybridizing other colours. I love the diverse range of colours and patterns of these flowers.

Gold Crowned Night Heron

The morning light along John Smith's Bay catches the crowning feathers nicely
