Visited Grenada (that is a long A as in sAY) the 1st week of July 06 for the 3rd time. I will add more to this post as I process the images. My first real opportunity to use the new camera and I am disappointed at the quality of several shoots made at low light. Much more work needed at finding the right ISO and F stop settings to get what I want without the noise. Comments welcomed.

Sharp angles formed by light and shadow are intriguing.

Village of Souffriere - Dominica
Sulfur springs and a large area of barren glistening precipitate was up in a culvert behind it. From the small dock in the center, we went out on a small twin engine boat on a whale watch. We did see a baby and mother Sperm whale. Around the point (left side of image) is a rocky beach from which we snorkled Champagne Springs, a hot vent spring in 6-12' (2-4m) of water.

I don't seem to have much luck cultivating a 'normal' garden. Sweet Potatos run wild, pidgeon peas pop up here and there and the tomatos almost ripen. Nematods, all kinds of insects, possums, raccoons, rats, squirrels
Some of what has worked: Pineapple, Tangier/Malanga - Xanthosoma sagitifolia, various bananas, Carambola, Mustard, Myer Lemon, various 'Gingers' , Lemon Grass, Sugar Cane, Miracle Fruit, Coffee
Some that have not yet produced but are growing well: Mango, Longan, Litchi, Eggfruit, Sweetsop, Passionfruit, Sapodilla, Persimmon, Rose Apple
Flowers of 'Ice Cream' banana
'Praying Hands' banana
Spring '05 Sugarcane, Costus, Bananas
