Cozumel’s Iron Shore

“Cozumel’s Iron Shore”

Cozumel is one of the beautiful islands we visited while on our Royal Caribbean cruise in 2015. The coast boasts various types of beaches of which we visited the rocky “iron shore” limestone beach.

We asked the taxi driver to take us to the beach as we left our port. Little did we know exactly where he was dropping us off.

We made the best of the beach and had a good time. Paul relaxed in a hammock while I photographed the shoreline.

I brought a shell with me to each beach we visited. I had to be very careful—one wrong step and I would be getting stitches. Even with flip-flops it was dangerous as one time it slipped off. Luckily, my foot landed on sand.

While we were in Cozumel, Mexico on our cruise last year, we took a taxi to the beach. A young girl came and lay in the hammock as I was shooting. Little did she know she was part of my shot.

Thank You!

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!
