More fresh fish for another meal, but these were caught by local fishermen, not from my fishing trip.




#32

Lobster too! This one was still alive just a minute ago until the cook removed it's tail.

Baked with garlic and butter. Oishii!!

Pointe aux Piments - Yet another absolutely beautiful and idyllic beach along the North-West coast.

Pointe aux Piments.

See how far out from the shoreline the fisherman is fishing. This beach has a lagoon too and the waters are clearly very shallow and maybe low tide also. The waves break quite far out and are oh so gentle.




#40

Great day for sailing.

Beachfront homes are out of reach for many of us, but some of the lower-income locals do happen to have their modest homes right on the doorsteps of their country's beautiful beaches.

#45

A picturesque church at the most northerly point of the island at Cap Malheureux. This area is supposedly very popular for outdoor wedding photoshoots.




#46

Baking like lobsters, but they sure love their picnic in the sea.

Red-whiskered Bulbul. A bit OOF and had to crop it a bit too.




#48

Longbeach (literally a long beach) Resort in the East. This is Belle Mare beach.

This tree is providing much needed shade and is great for kids to climb too.

La Roche qui Pleure in the South. No idyllic beaches here, very different coastline. Cloudy hazy day. I am grateful for that man who showed up fortuitously while I was shooting this. Otherwise it would be a pretty boring picture!




#54

Same as #53 but from a different angle.

Black River National Park. There are slightly different climates at different parts of the island. Some areas are drier than others, and some get more wind, while the central areas tend to be a few degrees cooler as they are located higher above sea level. This particular area tends to be wetter than average. Finally got some sun on my 3rd visit to this same place in 3 days.
