While it was not my intent to drag on the Bermuda posts for 2 months, that is exactly what I have done…
If you need to get caught up, here are the other posts:

When my Mom does something, she has lots of follow-through. She not only grew them, but hand delivered them on 3 occasions back to Bermuda. The baby plantlets were carefully placed back in their natural habitat over the past 5 years. It takes a little hike into the woods, then some climbing, and then even more creative cave navigation to get to the site. But we did it & it was great to see some of them thriving! Of course, not all the previously reintroduced plants survived, but more are making it to adulthood than ever before.
This is where the adventure began…quite a fairly-tale entrance to the woods if you ask me.
The “FAB FIVE OF FERNS”
We went back later to work a little in the lab, and then all of our work duties were complete. So we spent the next 2 days taking in the sights and being tourists.
Not surprisingly, my favorite part of the tourist portion of our trip was spent hiking and photographing at Horseshoe Bay. Lots of cool stuff to explore, very few people because it was the off-season, and ocean spray photo-ops galore.
Thanks for stopping by to share my journey!
Really interesting and especially like the sea photographs!
