Happy Friday Everyone!

This picture shows a different side to The Burren in County Claire Ireland. This beautiful sandy beach is located in Fanore in County Claire. I had never seen anything like it before in my life. The sand is a mixture of black and brown sand. Just down the way, there is a grassy hill with more of the limestone that is common in The Burren. I could sit there all day watching the waves come in and be perfectly content. Have a great end to the week everyone!

Happy Sunday Everyone! This afternoon we have a Yellow Crowned Night Heron that was photographed at Boquerón State Forest in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Our lovely heron friend is related to the now extinct Bermuda Night Heron that was endemic to Bermuda and became extinct after human colonization.

Happy Sunday! Today’s photo of the day was taken at Castillo San Felipe del Morro (commonly referred to as ‘El Morro’) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. First built as a Spanish fort in 1589, it was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1983 and has since become an exclusive tourist destination.
