It’s been a minute since our last trip to Bonaire… I took this series of photos from the southeastern coast of the country with my drone. It is common to have lots of wind in Bonaire and this day was very windy. My drone didn’t love it
Salt Pier
I realize I have posted a few Bonaire pictures recently. Normally I try too mixt them up better. Sorry about that. Regardless, here is another one from this beautiful island. This is the Cargill Salt Pier and salt flats. Cargill is an American company that harvest sea salt in Bonaire for distribution all over the world. The salt flats seen in the background turn these pretty pink shades.
Salt Ponds
I took this photo with my drone above the Cargill salt flats in Bonaire about this time last year. I loved the pink water ponds in contrast to the blue ocean and sky. This photo demonstrates the salt collection device and salt piles.

Salt Pier
What can I say about this beautiful spot that you can’t get just by looking at it???? Probably just the basics. This is the Cargill Salt Pier on Bonaire. This is one of the unique scuba diving sites on the island. We dove this a few times on our trip. The coral and sea life surrounding the pier legs was great. And the entire island was amazing, pretty, and just a divers dream.

Pink Lakes
Here is another drone photo I took from our Bonaire trip. This beautiful little Caribbean island is worth a visit. I loved everything about it including these pink lakes. They are not actually lakes, they are shallow man-made ponds of sea water setup for the collection of sea salt after the water evaporates. Just a beautiful spot.

Bonaire Salt Flats
As my many loyal fans (all five of them) have noticed, I was out of touch the last week. No social media, email, or blog. The entire family traveled to Bonaire and spent the week relaxing, scuba diving and just having fun. So I’m sorry I was absent from the rest of the electronic world.
We had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend this country to anyone to likes Caribbean islands, warm weather, nice people, and amazing scuba diving. It was windy every day, which is a good thing since it keeps you cool. But it made it hard to fly my drone. I wanted to get some photos of the Cargill operated salt flats, which was hard to do with the strong winds. In the end, I got a few like this photo I’m sharing today

Spreading Salt
Like many areas of the country today, we got a little bit of snow (maybe 3 inches). So I took advantage of the situation and got outside to capture some winter photos, including some drone photography….. This is a photo of our home with Blair spreading salt on the driveway (look closely).
