Camera Critters in the Caribbean

Skywatch Friday now follows my Camera Critters.

My Scenic Sunday entry is here     Justnaturephotosfromeileen


In July, my hubby, son and I went on a Caribbean cruise. Our port of calls were San Juan, St Thomas, Samana and Labadee. For this weeks camera critters I am showing pictures of the iguanas and some birds during our cruise and at the ports.

                                   San Juan Iguanas.



Look who's peeking out the window.





                 A cool looking Brown Booby seen during shore excursion to St Johns.




Brown Pelican on an little island that is a bird sanctuary  in St Johns.





Laughing Gulls next to our ship as we were leaving St Thomas



Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out my critters. To see more Camera Critters please click on my link on the sidebar.

Also a special thanks to Misty Dawn the host of Camera Critters.

    Great critters, it reminds me of all the critters in Florida, except they only have little lizards down there, not iguanas.

    Wonderful creatures! The Iguana is a bit like a dragon, isn't it? Like the Australian goanna, which is dangerous for ducks, turkeys and chicken. It also climbs trees. Great post, Eileen!
