Senaga Island: A Few More Photos

There's Always Something New

It was one of those sticky, hot days in June, when we decided to stop for lunch here.

No way, was I looking for a hot spring, to jump into; just some 5 star resort food.

 Not as impressed, with the food, as I was on my last visit, I shot this chandelier.

Then went outside, to see what else was new on Senaga Island.

 h white Corona beer signs, caught my attention and, got my curiosity going.

We're a long way from Mexico.  What's going on here ?

This is Corona Extra not, the regular kind.

It would be a good idea, to document, whatever they're doing in case it's something special.

Upon further investigation, I discovered, what this is all about.

Entrance to the event is absolutely free.  And, there's a real friendly gal, to wait on you.

She invited us, to have a few beers but, we told her, we were working and, couldn't stay.

Next time, I'm down that way, I think I'll give her a different answer.

No Problemo Senorita !

Bird Portrait: Rock Thrush on the Rocks

Today, over on the island of Senaga Jima, this Rock Thrush posed for a second.

Over the past few days, we've been out shooting all over Okinawa.

And, on some of the outer islands accessible by car.

So, there are over a thousand photos of birds waiting in my (ahem-ahum) project bin.

 Not to worry. Everything will get caught-up around here when the weather turns cold.

The sun is shining and I don't have to wear socks with my flip-flops.

So, like a farmer, I have to make hay while the sun shines.

If you don't hear from me tomorrow, that could mean I'm taking care of an itch.

Itchin' to hop on a boat and hit some far away island.

And, if anybody asks what I do for a living, I know what I'll tell them I do.

JUST LIVING !

Another Day at Senaga-jima in Okinawa, Japan

Senaga-jima has become one of the islands in Okinawa that I enjoy visiting with a camera.

Look at the size of that limo.  

I have no idea who was in it; just know they aren't any friends of mine.

 Ospreys are the main reason I like visiting, because they always put on a great show.

If I was the Mayor of Senaga-jima,  I'd tell the airport to go fly their planes over some other island.

You don't suppose that limo belongs to the Mayor, do you ?

Wildlife Photo: Osprey of Senaga-Jima Okinawa, Japan

This Osprey was photographed on the Okinawa Island of Senaga-Jima Feb 10, 2012.
