Back to Bermuda

It has been far too long since my last trip to the island.  Almost 14 months which is nuts for me.   But it's great to be back.    I've been here almost 5 days now but really haven't done much as the first few days was catching up with friends and the past 2 days I've been down and out with a nasty cold in my head and chest.   Thank you plane travel!   Argh.

But I have taken a few shots thus far;

My home away from home.  A great Bermuda cottage.

To help with my cold I went down to the beach for a swim.  Unfortunately it didn't help much at the time but it was a lovely morning for a swim.

The crowds of people were terrible.

Couldn't find a spot to park my ass anywhere.

So, photography this trip.   I'm struggling a bit, over the past 10 years I have hit most of the beaches and many of the "tourist" things.   Last year I did an entire trip in Black and White (that was kinda cool) but this year I'm trying to look for things I haven't done before.   So bare with me while I poke around the island, particularly after I feel a bit better.

To see albums of my previous work;

Yesterday I was busy all day helping out friends with various projects (felt good) so the camera never left the bag but today was another fabulous day so decided to head down to the beach.   Have been here for a week and figured I'd better put my feet in the salt water and sand at some point.  Besides I had been waiting for the sea temps to go up a bit.   They say it's currently 77F but I think it was a bit warmer.   I have a sweet little spot that I like to hit.

As you can see the crowds were crazy, I had to elbow my way through to find a spot.

I gave up and went the other way.  Not much better.

Some hurricane erosion.

Even on a calm day with the tide going out it can still get some wave action going.

Avoid at all costs or you will get a painful lesson to remember it by. Portuguese man o' war. 

A great way to spend the afternoon.  Reading and playing in the surf :-)
