Carey Island Daytrip - Misc

The day started out rather wet and gloomy. Not sure which way the weather would go but the opportunities it presented was beautiful!

The gorgeous & magnificent Flame of the Forest against the dark & rainy morning sky.

Tide's out and so are the people for a stroll or collecting mussels/clams etc.


The monkey on the left was making eye gestures at the other monkey.
