Highlight Snapshots from St. Kitts, Virgin Islands (February 2013)

My wife and I recently had the good fortune of spending a week on St. Kitts and Nevis in the Virgin Islands.  It was thoroughly relaxing, except when we returned home to find a recently-ended blizzard (Nor'easter) had left our driveway buried!  6 hours later, using a snow-blower, we were free.  We just had another bad winter storm and I think it is time to reflect on just how fortunate we were to enjoy some sun and great weather in the Caribbean.

 

The 3 pictures above were taken at the Brimstone Hill Fortress.

This dragonfly was photographed at Caribelle Batik.  I believe it is a roseate skimmer.

This is me enjoying the company of green vervet monkeys at the Shipwreck Beach Grill and Tavern, located at South Friars Bay.

This is Frigate Bay where our hotel was located, as viewed from the road winding above the area.

I photographed this cooperative gray kingbird on the Royal St. Kitts Golf Course.

This donkey and monkey appeared to be making an escape as a team as they ran across the golf course near the Marriott.

This is an adult little blue heron.
