Day three St Kitts

The second day of my cruise was to the island of St Kitts. We got off the boat and went to find a taxi to go to the beach. St Kitts is an island that was formed by a volcano and there isn't that many beaches on the main part of the island but the island has this peninsula that has many nice beaches so we went there. At the beach we saw monkeys that roam wild on the island as you can see the the two pictures.

At the same beach above the monkeys there was these trees that had little pink flowers on them and this bird which im not sure what kind it is was sucking out all the pollen from the flowers.

This was on top of a hill overlooking the peninsula on the left is the Atlantic ocean and on the right is the Caribbean sea. the colour variation is very noticeable and in the background the island that is covered by clouds in the island of Nevis which is the other island that makes up the country St Kitts and Nevis.

This was our cruise ship leaving the island and that is the main island of St Kitts. That is the volcano that made St Kitts that is now extinct that is hidden in the clouds. On the mountain is a rare type of rain forest found in very few places over the wold.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.

So Many Woodpeckers

Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping. In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.
