The elusive cloud berry plant (above and below) known locally as bakeapples. Finishing up my time on Fogo Island. Sad to miss the ripening of the many wild berries on the island, still weeks away, but my time here must end. It has been an incredible experience, and I will miss this place.

Little Fogo Islands
July 4, 2011

Adventures on Fogo Island. Went to see a dead sperm whale that washed up in Joe Batt’s Arm. The lower jaw had been removed, but the rest of it was still mostly intact. I have my fingers crossed to see some live whales by boat in the next week or two. On the same walk [...]
