The first pictures is of a Frigatebird, I saw it coming close and always wondered what they look like and then I did my research. The second one is of a beautiful Sunset at Penuelas , which is close to Ponce and is also a small town that for many years had Corco Refining Co. (Petroleum). The Third one is actually at the site where the Petroleum Refinery stand , which it will be removed hopefully by this year.

Thank to all of you who have reply to my post, I really don't know much about the subject either but what really got to me is that some people were using that birds were been killed by the Winds Mills , and I think a lot more people kill birds than the wind mills it self would kill and I don't hear no one protesting against that. If there is a reason why I am all for the American way is because , the government have establish laws and parameters to avoid the excess of killing birds unnecessary. As much as I love freedom, regulations are there to protect our environment as well. Thank you all for such valuable information and remember if we don't protect our environment and wildlife, soon we will have nothing to sustain our ecosystem.

I see your point,but being Puerto Rico such a small Island, we may not have the same problem, though they did mention that they have the same problem here. Ok if they aren't that good, the excuse they are using to stop using these Wind Mills is kind of a joke, if they don't make enough electricity, by all means don't use them, but don't use birds as an excuse. I'm not saying you but people here in Puerto Rico.

By the way these are not the birds getting killed by the Wind Mills, these stay around the shore most of the time. I was trying to fixed the last one , I guess I gave it too much light.

Well as you all know, people like to criticize when ever progress is on the way. They are saying that these mills are killing our birds and they should stop using this method for electricity. Yet they don't stop those who hunt them down just for fun. I think people should stop and think before complaining about something so useful , specially in our economy staggering the way it is. As much as I like to protect nature, I also understand our needs for cheaper electric bills, and maybe we should protest hunting here in Puerto Rico as the island is only 43 x 100 miles, that can endanger any species in just a few month.

Thank you Bcheary, I have been busy working on my fathers back yard and on his 90th birthday I wanted to take him to where he was raised as a young boy, he totally could not recognize where he grew up, but was happy to know he still remembered his old school. You all be safe, I'll be back in mid December.

Thank you MB66 I thought it would appeal to some of you. I;m glad to her from you guys, once again, you all take care, I still have about a month left here in Paradise.

Thank you Pat, I had been taking care of a few things and I was finally able to go out and take some pictures. I am trying my best to get better pictures, I still have a few more to load, but I need to edit them and then post them. Thank you so much for your kind words.

These beaches are the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico, here is where most of the surfers come to practice their sport, and because they are seasonal, they tend to stay cleaner than most of the other beaches. Most tournaments are conducted around the Spring time, for the benefit of surfers on Spring break.

I got up real early, and I climb to the top of my fathers house. I couldn't resist taking photos of the moon, and then it started to get clear, and then I had to take the Sunrise again. I hope soon I will be taking more pictures.

Early Bird, taking photos
