Our Grand Lucayan Resort, Grand Bahama Island.
This is where we ate lunch and enjoyed the beach in the Bahamas.
(There are several photos in the comments. They are what is left of my vacation photos.)
After Kayaking through the mangroves near the Lucayan National Park in Freeport, Grand Bahama, I came out to explore and stumbled upon the Disney crew. They were filming Pirates of the Caribbean three! I didn't see any movie stars but I did get to check out some large buccaneer ships like this one. (It is only "half" a ship because it's open from the other side - for filming interior shots). Unfortunately, I only managed to guerrilla-snap this photo before the security guard started to yell at me!
These gorgeous flowers were growing all over the island. You can see why people think they are trees. They are not. They are the flower spike of the agave. It's sad that the agave will die after reproducing. It goes out in a blaze of glory. It also spreads by making pups. Agave braceana
These lizards were so cute. They were all over the park and unlike our anoles were friendly!
He came up to me and even posed. Lizards in my town don't do this. They run.
This is a sea cave in Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahamas Island. It is part of the Kayaking tour we took. The guide invited me to step in the water and see how cold it was. Of course to me who is used to the Atlantic sea board it was quite temperate. But to the local Bahamian the water is considered freezing! There were fish in the water, which is fresh water. The fish were originally salt water fish who had swam into the caves. Once the fish become fresh water fish they cannot go back to the salt water. Mostly Grey Snapper. There were also Buffy Flower Bats all over the roof of the cave! It was really cool! I don't remember who the man is sitting next to me.
