Flower Photography - Wild Maracuja (passiflora foetida) Tropical vines

Flower Photography - Wild Maracuja (passiflora foetida) Tropical vines of Tobago. A beautiful tropical flower to look at, not so nice for the nose as it gives off something of a strong sour aroma should foliage be damaged (which can happen rubbing against host plants). The Latin foetida means 'stinking' !

Rambur's forktail Dragonfly (Ischnura ramburii) - Having lunch

Rambur's forktail Dragonfly (Ischnura ramburii) - Having lunch

Rambur's forktail Dragonfly (Ischnura ramburii) - Having lunch. Okay, so it's not everyday you get to disturb someone in the middle of a take away in a mangrove woodland, worse still when you close in for a macro photo, most bad mannered of me, but in my defense the dragonfly did not move until the camera lens - with my big head behind it - was just a few inches away. Bon appetit?

Iguana - Lizards of Tobago - Wildlife photography

Iguana - Lizards of Tobago - Wildlife photography. Sometimes you get a little lucky, as I did here when I came across this Iguana fairly low in tree branches as I walked around in a small mangrove. He had obviously been shedding skin as the front foot shows, and was still catching itself as I stumbled upon it, being generous enough to allow me to get a shot off before taking itself off to safer heights with some speed.

Cat photo - Portrait of a gentleman

Cat photo - Portrait of a gentleman. I caught Chum resting quietly this afternoon and at my passing he looked up to satisfy himself there was no need to move (which equates to no food being offered). He was kind enough to allow me to take a few pictures, at the cost of filling his bowl with cat biscuits when I was done. Bribery may not get me everywhere, but on this occasion, I did manage a nice photo or two.
Taken at home.

Hanging out as far as I could over the railing to catch the angle of pets Rosie-May & Buster watching out of an upstairs balcony. This photo captures their personalities well as Buster (the white nose in the background) is somewhat a gentleman, while Rosie-May has more of a boisterous nature.

Cat photography contemplating "Caturday".
It is capturing moments like this that encourage me to keep on picking up the camera. A natural shot, straight from the camera, as most of my photos are, I caught sight of Chum sitting quietly in the morning sun in the garden, the bright rays that caught him allowed me to use f8 at 50 iso (the cameras maximums) effectively blanking out the shadowed background.

Snakes of Tobago - The Laura (Leptophis ahaetulla)

Snakes of Tobago - The Laura  (Leptophis ahaetulla)

Snakes of Tobago - The Laura  (Leptophis ahaetulla). A common pencil thin snake of light woodland and scrub. Caribbean wildlife Photo by Robert Brent

The Laura is a small snake that mainly hunts lizards and frogs in light woodland and bush, replying on it's bright green coloration to avoid detection from raptors and other birds. A harmless snake, but no matter how harmless it is still killed on sight by humans simply because it is a snake. What a shame.

Child photography - 3 year old Grandson Mason

Our 3 year old Grandson is with us for a week, and yes, his personality is as cute as his looks. Hardly gives Grandad a chance though, I really get little done while he is here. Not that I am complaining, it is what life is all about, and I consider myself very lucky to have the time to be able to enjoy his company. A couple more shots from this afternoon for those that find him as adorable as we do.

Bourgainvillea is not one of the easier flowers to photograph in my estimation, most shots just fail to make the mark one way or another. The gentle transition of light purple to cream white on this plant caught my eye and a macro focus.
