Once Again

“Once Again”

Jamaica is a beautiful country. I visited Ocho Rios last year. I photographed the hummingbirds there and other wildlife as well.

For each country I visit, I like to go to the beach and photograph a shell on the shore. Knowing that shells may not be abundant, I bring my own.

This white armoured starfish once again gets to return where it started—in the ocean.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

On Jamaica’s Shore

“On Jamaica’s Shore”

I was on the beach in Jamaica photographing a starfish, when a local man walked by and ask, “Did that come from the ocean?” I explained to him that I bought it in a store and brought it with me.

Yes, it originally came from the ocean—just not that color:)

Danger! Danger!

“Danger! Danger!”

The least terns are nesting on St. Simons through September. I had the pleasure of watching them for several days last weekend.

These terns are the smallest in the world, but that doesn’t give them a disadvantage when it comes to attacking their enemies—ghost crabs. Ghost crabs prey on their eggs and chicks! The terns are feisty little rascals and when a crab comes near, they bond together and protect their young.

Ghost crabs are sneaky though. They will attack then bury themselves in the sand to later carry on their mayhem. Did you know they can even slightly change color to match the sand around them?

It was amazing to watch!

Along the Shore

I found this reddish egret one morning on the beach at St. Simons Island, Georgia. When I first found him, he was looking for breakfast in the tide pools near the dunes.

This is my favorite photograph of him as he walked along the shore. It shows the huge waves crashing behind him.

Haiti's Shores

"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.
