Great pictures! Did the parrot just land, or was he tame and posing with you?
|
By Linda Richter - NetTech (Moderator - Post #1922) on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 8:47 am: |
The parrot is our family member, Spirit Shoo Shoo. She is actually a brown-throated Caribbean parakeet, locally called a prikichi. She is very active and likes to be with people all the time.
|
By Kelly Lott (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1590) on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 9:12 am: |
I love the picture of my favorite parakeet! And I agree, I think Alison has a profile pic now.

Mary that's funny you should say that, because when I have my camera with me, I can't BUY a posing puffer... Cynde can verify this... they saw me coming from 100 yards I swear and would just take off, laughing at me. lol I was really lucky this trip seeing sooooo many of them.

Wanna hear a hoot. I sent fuel injectors down to the pink bus with Katie. The old ones had to be returned for the core charge ($80). Injectors sorta look like bomb detonators and old ones smell like diesel fuel. My suitcase arrived festooned with so many security check tags it looked like a tibetan prayer flag string had been wrapped around it.

WOW! Great pics guys! My 4th trip to Bon is coming up this Nov/Dec, and I am dying to see a sea horse! I only snorkel...so I guess I keep missing them. Who wants to show me where one is??

Mercy, I think that your best bet to see a seahorse while snorkeling is in Lac Bay.

My question was to Mary Wills - Mary Mueller posted her message while I was composing mine. Just wanted to clarify (even though it was probably totally unnecessary).

By Barbara Leary (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6263) on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 12:02 pm: |

Belinda, when you are in the water, you can sometimes hear the sea horses laughing at you because you can't see them.
|
By Kelly Lott (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1602) on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 12:50 pm: |
Mary, or in my case, it's the puffers... lol they laugh and point...

Same ray Kathy...but if you remember I really went on a bonzai chase. I have movies also of the ray and a turtle...just don't know how to post them. Been sick for a few days...I'll post some more pics tonite.

By Kathy Hall (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #347) on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 9:13 pm: |
Wally, hope you're better soon. Now tell me, just what kind of camera do you have? I want a camera I can depend on, as I am seriously shopping, and I'm so upset w/my MX10 and the strobe saga, hate to even post it as it's negative. Best to create a web page and post the movies, I think. On my XP I have a movie editor I use for work stuff, to load movies to the work website from FrontPage and it's easy.
|
By Wally and Eva (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #444) on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 6:49 pm: |
Olympus C-5050 with Olympus PT-015 Housing as recommended by our good friend Jake. My research basically consisted of asking his opinion. I have been real happy with the cam above and below water.
|
By Kathy Hall (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #368) on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 8:42 pm: |
Good to know about your camera and that you're happy with it. We've come a long way (how about Ikelite housings for disposables in the 90's, lol) but I'm ready to go digital. pouting again at my ruined pics. Waiting for more of yours!
