Longshadow, UTMike, and NMGal, thanks for your nice comments. I would not want to walk on those rocks without steel soles on my shoes. (I don't think I'd want to walk on them even with those.)

Thank you very much! It was an interesting cruise.

Thank you!

In Novemeber 2009 I took a cruise of the Caribbean Sea. One of the ports was Grand Cayman Island. We visited several interesting spots, one of which was a place called "Hell", the site of some jagged rocks. My Topic for Grand Cayman was getting too big so I pulled out some photos of specific sites for their own Topics. This is one of them.

I think the turtle is pretty well accustomed to being handled, so it was probably bored. If you liked that one, you need to see my Roatan, Honduras Topic -- In that one I hold a Toucan and have a monkey on my shoulder.

Thank you very much. It was an interesting trip.

I'm in the process of posting some photos of Grand Cayman Island and two sites seen there.

I took a cruise of the Caribbean Sea in 2009 and one of the locations was Grand Cayman Island. Herewith a few photos.

I have just sent a PM to Admin about this.

My question is "why is that information no longer provided?" I didn't see any notificcation what it would be eliminated.

Not a satisfactory solution. "Watched Topics" includes everything I've been to, and "My Topics" only includes ones I started -- a much more restricted list.

When I view My Topics list, I now only see the entry when I posted the Topic -- the entry of who and when the last post is missing. That datum used to be provided, but I don't see it now. I use it to see if I've responded to the last person and I can't do that now. What happened?

Could it be a split tail?

A fine portrait. They are such useful spiders.
