Up a little early on a recent dive vacation to Little Cayman in the Caribbean, with time take a few above water photos before the dive boat left.
As my previous post showed, the water was crystal clear - and so were the skies, making the sunsets somewhat less than I was hoping for photographically, but hey, hard to complain while you're in paradise. :)
A second photo from Hell, on Grand Cayman. I added one of the rock formation a couple days ago that the location got it's name from
The Porsche Cayman GTS is a fun little beast

(Amazona leucocephala) The Cayman Islands parrot is a subspecies of the Cuban Parrot. They are endemic to the Cayman Islands - which means they are found nowhere else in the world. In fact, there are only three other subspecies of this parrot in the world - two in Cuba and one in the Bahamas.
It is estimated to be more than 30 million caymans live in Pantanal region of Brazil. They are almost all around and looking quite dangerous. For sure they are the most important preys of Jaguars in this particular area near the river banks. Their extreme silent existence in the water surface is quite scary.
(Amazona leucocephala caymanensis) The Cayman Island parrot is, in fact, one of two subspecies of the Cuban Parrot (Amazona leucocephala). Both subspecies are endemic to the Cayman Islands - which means they are found nowhere else in the world. In fact, there are only three other subspecies of this parrot in the world - two in Cuba and one in the Bahamas.
Cayman's parrots have iridescent green feathers with darker edges over the body, a white eye ring, red cheeks, black ear patches and brilliant blue wing feathers which are only obvious when the bird is in flight. The tail has blue outer edges, with some red and yellowish green underneath.
The Grand Cayman Parrot (Amazona leucocephala caymanensis) in particular has a pink flush to its whitish forehead. The male is slightly larger and more brightly coloured than the female. Juvenile birds have yellowish foreheads, gradually becoming more washed with pink as they mature.
This one was busy preening his feathers while still keeping his beady eyes on me!

A beautiful creature, in a unique location, on a spectacular day in the early morning. It just doesn't get any better. Diving in Grand Cayman, using a magic filter, as shot.
The water here on Grand Cayman is so warm and clear! #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
