Barbados

I went with Megan to Barbados for a science conference, which was generally 3 hours of talks a day that, for the most part, I could follow the overall ideas but the details were a wash of terms I didn't know.
But the afternoons were ~5-6 hours of wander around and get photos or swim/snorkel which was quite fun. And this shot is going to go into that pile of damn awesome photos I keep.

A variety of other bird photos made me pretty happy but I suspect most other people won't care so really quickly some more birbs. Before dinner, there was a mandatory get together on the shore to enjoy a beverage and watch the sunset. This lead to some fierce competition around sunset photos.
