A little local colour

dsc01853 A bit of colour with not much to say.  This is what we see during a typical day strolling around our beach area.

dsc02778Of course, I am leaving the work of naming these birds with you as I don’t have a book to deal with that here with me.

 That said, it is easy to figure out that this first bird is a sandpiper of some sort.  As for the bird on the right sitting on top of a plam stump, it is a beautiful little thing with a faint blush of pink on its belly.

This bird is from the heron or ibis family.  It was a rare visitor that took quite a few shots and about 1o minutes worth of stalking in order to get a decent photo.

And of course, it is hard to go very long on our walks either along the beach or along the beach road, without seeing yet another iguana.

    Love the nature pictures. I am going to have a hard time deciding which ones to frame for my bathroom. I might have to do another set downstairs once you get it finished.
