Fuerteventura IV: Off the Beaten Path

We took my uncle's Jeep out into the wilderness for a beautiful walk. We saw a bit of wildlife as well. Unfortunately, the most interesting bird we saw was as we were driving by in the Jeep, so I couldn't get a shot of it.






Animal tracks



I'm sure one of you can tell me what this is.



Any birders out there know what this one is?


















Another type of animal tracks.

Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain: Take a Walk on the Wild Side

My aunt and uncle live in Fuerteventura, an island in the Canary Islands, and we headed there next. The Canary Islands are just off the coast of Africa, but belong to Spain. They tell me all the islands are completely different. This one looked as if someone had taken a chunk of Arizona desert and dropped in the ocean. We took a great walk the first day we were there along a cliff/hill overlooking the coastline. This is Felix, one of their dogs. The other is named Candy and you will see shots of her as well.

Moving up the Coast

Next we visited a beautiful little town called Trinidad. It had these great views and a Lighthouse.






The California poppies were in abundance.






A bit further up the coast we stopped at a place called Patrick's Point and walked down to the beach to eat our picnic.
