Day 222 – 365 Days of Photography

8-10-2014


Moruga, and the last spring bridge in the country.  The bridge crosses a river and is nested by a fish depot, where the fishermen come up the river with their spoils from their days catch.  The locals had to champion the cause for the bridge to not be replaced, therefore a new bridge is being constructed next to it.  This area was once inhabited by the Amerindians and the now current roads were trails used by the Amerindians of old.  The other side of the bridge takes you to a beautiful beach, with an expansive sand when the tide is low as it was on this day, a sand on which my daughter drew an anime character that she made up that I showcased on my facebook page.  My brother and husband took the boys fishing, and we just sat enjoying the biting insects (not), tranquil sea breeze and God’s beautiful scenery.



My daughter's self created anime character drawn in the sand on the beach in Moruga!



A view of the beach and the fishing rods, lined, baited and waiting to be used.

Day 221 – 365 Days of Photography

8-9-2014


A visit to the local zoo, yielded a look at this white lion.   It has such a dog like look to me.  The fur looked soft and zoo animals is not really my preference as I find that the animals look sad.  They should be free to roam in their natural habitats.

Day 220 – 365 Days of Photography

A papaya field that I saw whilst taking a drive.  The native name for papaya is 'paw paw'.  I thought it to be quite a lovely scene.  So natural and serene.  One day when I get a wide angle lens, I would be able to do these scenes more justice.

In this my native land we refer to Avocado as Zaboca, and here is a tree on my Aunt's land.  We came home with a few spoils from the garden.

Day 218 – 365 Days of Photography

8-6-2014


The rain has been coming down everyday as we say "bucket ah drop".  Here is an example of my windscreen stuck in traffic between wipes of the wiper blade.  I thought black and white would show the true gloom of it.
