Sightseeing in the Lesser Antilles

urbpanOr since we're only on the one island is it a lesser antille?
One of the neighboring houses has the worst/best driveway I've ever seen.
Some flat pieces of coral and sandstone just beg to be stacked.
Alexis found a new friend up on the beach and released it back to the ocean.
Out in the ocean a man was standing on the water and paddling.
And under the water: green urchins.
And black urchins.
Also on the beach: tiny hermit crabs.
Night falls and today's rainy weather pays off in dramatic sunset clouds.
The clouds lighten up for a view of the rolling landscape.
Another side effect of the rain: some of the only mushrooms I've ever seen on this island, I think it's a species of Dacrymyces.
One last blast of color for the evening!
The day's rain causes lots of snails to come out! I need to do some research to find out, but I'm guessing these aren't native snails.
A bunch of bromeliads have been planted alongside the house, and they seem to be very popular with the local coqui frogs.
Coqui frogs develop from eggs directly into froglets, I don't know if they lay the eggs in water, but if they do the bromeliads are a perfect place for them. Does anyone know?
