Treasure Beach Is Melon Country

Pictures From Jamaica — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:20:09 +0000

St. Elizabeth is known as the ‘bread basket’ parish, because of the wide variety of fruit, ground provisions and vegetables grown there. The watermelon is a popular crop, and we passed through Treasure Beach recently where we saw the front porches of many homes (the homes of farmers), piled high with melons. They’ll weigh it and sell it to you on the spot!

Lobsters On Ice

Lobster is a popular favourite on the menu at the cook shops at Hellshire Beach in St. Catherine. As long as it’s in season, most fish vendors and cook shop operators will have a tub or cooler full of freshly caught lobster, ready to be grilled or fried. We recently took this shot of a cooler full of lobsters on ice at Aunt May’s (Miss May) Fish Place at Hellshire.

Hunting Jamaican Land Crabs

Land crab eating season in Jamaica is typically during the months of May and June, in tandem with the crabs’ breeding season. We were on the hunt for Jamaican land crabs in Annotto Bay, St. Mary. Not actual crab hunting ourselves, but to buy crabs (for our own planned crab feast) from crab hunters who would’ve gone out the previous night and caught them with the intention of selling them the next day. On our very first roadside stop, we saw these boys, who gladly told us they had caught 4 1/2 dozen last night, and would sell them to us for J$400 per dozen. Deal.

The contents of the crocus bag … nuff crabs!

Nearby, we also came across a family who were busy in their backyard, ‘running a boat’ and cooking up a huge pot of crabs on a coal stove.

Located in St. Catherine, and named for the fort which once stood as part of the ring of forts and batteries that protected Kingston Harbour from potential invaders, Fort Clarence Beach is one of the more popular beaches for residents of Kingston & St. Andrew and St. Catherine.

The Beach At Titchfield High School, Titchfield Hill, Port Antonio

Pictures From Jamaica — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:07:19 +0000

Titchfield High School in Port Antonio, is located by the sea. The photos below show a beach, which is located directly beside the school’s playing field and some classrooms (partially visible building located at top right-hand corner of first picture below). These pictures were taken in early 2010. The fallen almond tree was probably as a result of Tropical Storm Gustav, which battered Jamaica in August 2008.

Here’s something different … took these photos for event stylists, Pussbackfoot. They created a bouquet of white roses using a hollowed out tree trunk as a vase. You don’t have to be an Environmentalist to love the creativity behind this … more here
