  • Lucayan National Park

    25/02/2010

     

    Thursday afternoon we left about 2 PM to drive to the east end of the island, for the most part a long straight paved 2 lane road in forested areas of pine trees and shorter palms, two layers of growth after the hurricanes 5 years ago. Stopped at the Lucayan National park, http://www.bnt.bs/parks_lucayan.php

    which had walking paths on both sides of the highway. The first lead to the 3 Lucayan underground freshwater caves, with hanging trees, small fishes, bats, a unique discovery of previously un known crustacean and possibly original burial mound for the local Indians .

     

    A hike through the forest and mango grove including pauses on interesting trees, broke out on the a stunning long white sandy clean beach just coming out of low tide.  Captured this Heron. Grey uprooted long dead tree trunks provided an interesting contrast to the smoothness of the beach and prop for Amelia and various poses, including the warrior here. Walk back to the car over the mango swamp was a boardwalk signs on various fish and bird species with the directions to leave the fishing to the birds!

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
