“A Silent Witness”

“A Silent Witness” 1/29/24

If this tree could talk, what would it say? Would it speak of the hard times during the winter when keeping the cabins warm was difficult? It could speak of the grief and sorrow the residents felt when a loved one passed away.

 

Or it could speak of a bundle of joy arriving today to an awaiting couple. May it would talk of seeing eight bears pass its way.

 

Whatever stories this tree holds, I am captivated by the mystery. It stands as a silent witness to the joys and sorrows of the Cove, and I find solace in capturing its beauty through my lens in every season.

Last spring, I photographed some fox kits in a lady's yard. She was kind enough to let me photograph them. 

 

They were so adorable. The momma moved them a short time after I found them:/

“Bears, Butterflies, and Butterfly Milkweed”

“Bears, Butterflies, and Butterfly Milkweed”

I am learning more and more with my photography of envisioning a final shot. When I saw Mama Bear in a field, I positioned myself where she was near the butterfly milkweed. I think it makes for a neat story.

 

Mama Bear had a busy morning staying near the edge of Loop Road with her four spring cubs. Like Momma Bear, the spring cubs have learned so much and tried getting the grubs out of a downed tree.

 

She was so busy, but she took the time to say hi to the butterflies and smell the flowers:)

The End.

The Seven Sisters

"The Seven Sisters"

Deep in Grenada's rainforest lie seven waterfalls called the Seven Sisters. While in the West Indies, we visited Grenada on an excursion from the Emerald Princess. 

 

The larger waterfall is majestic and feeds into a small waterfall below the beautiful pool. The other five waterfalls could not be viewed from our location. 

 

It was fun trekking into the rainforest to the falls. On the way there, we passed a small wooden shanty and borrowed a hiking stick. I even saw a hummingbird. The view is stunning! 

 

We were surprised to receive a free attraction—a man climbed the falls and did a backflip into the pool below. Of course, tips were encouraged. 

 

On the way back, we visited the shanty for a cold drink. It was a wonderful excursion.

 

I enjoy posting my cruise photos as I relive the experience again.

St. Lucia was a wonderful place to visit when we took a two-week cruise from late November into December. Please see my previous blog here to read the details of this day.

We took a dolphin and whale cruise—it was magical! I love the image of this pilot whale because she and her baby are against the backdrop of St. Lucia.
