The Race is On

"The Race is On"

While I in was in Haiti on my cruise, I explored the coastline to see what I could find. I found a colony of hermit crabs enjoying the sun and decided to photograph them during a two second exposure. I liked the milkiness of the waves the longer exposure created.

There is a small amount of movement from the top left hermit crab and the grey one because they were in a race. The top one on the right won:)

Scampering Along

Our Royal Caribbean cruise ship, the Independence of the Seas, stopped at Labadee Haiti. My family went back to the ship, but I am glad I decided to stay and photograph the beach. The Lord provided an immature Sally Lightfoot Crab (Grapsus grapsus) for me to photograph. I followed it along the rocky shore for quite sometime. This is one of my favorite photographs. As an adult, these crabs have striking colors such as blue, red and yellow.

Haiti's Shores

Haiti's shores were a mixture of beautiful white sand in some places, whereas other spots were extremely rocky.

My family had already gone back to the ship, but I enjoyed photographing the beach. I loved the beautiful blue water splashing on the rocks.

Finger Starfish in Haiti

This starfish originated in the Philippines, then was exported to the United States to be sold. I bought it and took it to Haiti so I could photograph it on the white sandy beach. I loved the crystal blue ocean!
