Turks & Caicos doesn’t have the kind of lush vegetation that most people associate with “Caribbean” islands - geographically we’re part of the Bahamas chain so our climate is drier. Even so we do have some flowering plants that grow wild, and with a bit of irrigation almost anything will grow amazingly well in the sunshine!

As there are quite a few photos in this post, you’ll need to click the link below to see the images.

On Sunday the Tropical Imaging gang went to Sapodilla Bay for a barbecue - rum, beer, sun, sand, and stingrays in the water… The point-and-shoot was playing up and producing weird-coloured images with stripes before dying completely, so I only got a couple of shots and this was the one I liked best - of my friend & colleague Ileana.

Canon S500 point-and-shoot, F3.5 at 1/160th sec. ISO not recorded but probably 100.
