A Windy Day in Bermuda

This morning I took a walk along the South Shore Park in Bermuda. 

It's the end of March, a little before the beginning of the tourist season. There's still a cool nip to the breeze but very pleasant. It feels wonderful to fill the lungs with crisp and clean ocean air.

The hibiscus are in bloom.

Horseshoe Bay at the west end of South Shore Park. Looking east.

Horseshoe Bay - looking west.

There's a lot of mini-beaches nestled amid the jutting ancient volcanic rock.

Looking west toward Horseshoe Bay from the cliffs.

Looking east toward Chaplin Bay. The walking paths were great.

I came across these 2 seemingly abandoned concrete structures set just off the beach. Vegetation has covered all of one roof and half of the other. I'm going to speculate that these were bunkers built as part of Bermuda's coastal defense during World War II. (Much more interesting than abandoned hot dog stands,)

At the end of my walk I saw these 3 fully clothed boys frolicking in the waves. Pure joy.
