#stlucia Stop 4 - #NCL #cruise Papa #Bear has on a bit of leather while we wait at the pier for docking. As usual, plans for us are to keep it local, low-key and enjoy sun, sea, and beach on this tropical, volcanic island.

We're well past the point where the cruise staff recognize, remember us, and in crease service. Actual bonus points someplace for being an interracial, same sex, bear couple is a plus.

Well. Im unsure of how to thread over here so I guess these will be independent posts! This works well anyways since I forgot to add descriptions for my photos in the previous post. But back to #StLucia #birding.

I was lucky enough to have some great bird guides from St Lucia Wildlife Ambassadors and when I visited Grand Eden Estate to (successfully) search for the St Lucia Parrot. Grand Eden Estate ended up being a highlight of my trip. Besides offering up great views it offered up great looks at other Antillean endemics. I loved being able to bird before work - even though I was slightly late that day. Shout out to my director who was fine with me being late because birding took me an hour farther out of the way than I anticipated.

I was lucky enough to be able to do a “work play vacation” in #StLucia for two weeks this month. While I worked remotely roughly half the time, I fit in some great #birding on this endemic filled island with my off time. I had never birded in the Lesser Antilles and so St Lucia offered the opportunity for so many new lifers! Besides having 4 endemics located solely on this easily navigable island, St Lucia has many other range restricted species located in the Antilles. I wanted to share some of my photographs and experiences from exploring this lovely country with great food, spectacular people, and amazing birds. Post 1 of ? so I can share more pictures :)

It's going to be freaking cold this weekend, but days get longer in the #NorthernHemisphere now!

That St. Lucia party got crazy after you left...

In case the winter cold and gloom is getting to you, remember that today is St Lucia's day, and the Nordic festival of lights. And along with that, the earliest evening sunset.
From today, the evening light starts to return.
The morning takes a bit longer to turn around though; the latest sunrise is around 30th December.

Happy #StLuciasDay! Today is a beloved holiday in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia. St. Lucia's Day is a celebration of light in the long, dark winters. As with most legends, the story has many versions. Generally they come back to St. Lucia wearing a crown of candles to light the way as she brought food to those in hiding.
What are some ways someone has brought you light this winter?

The best know St. Lucia's Day tradition in Hungary is Luca's Chair.
You have to start working on it on December 13th. It is made of 9 kinds of wood with wooden nails only. It should be completed over the course of 13 days.
On the 25th you can take it to midnight mass, and standing on it you can see witches. Then you have to run home (tossing poppy seeds over your shoulder to slow down the witches) and burn the chair.
This is the least Christian #Christmas tradition 😆

A #MichaelSheen flavoured sketch from last year for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 13, St Lucia's day. Mixing everything together today with Italo-Welsh-Nordic vibes.

I believe in the old calendar today was the solstice, light being needed. 🕯️

Also check the translation for Norwegian Wiki's #LussiNatt if further curious on myths about the day.

CW: Eye contact? No allusion to Lucia's eyes.

Donne's poem on loss and vigil, as today is St Lucy's Day.

December 13.
The two cows

Today is St. Lucia's day! I picked this tale, from the Hungarian Roma tradition, accordingly.

A poor man has two cows. On Lucia's night he goes out to guard them from wandering witches. Because on this night animals can talk, he overhears them complaining about their food and the way he treats them.
After that the man pays more attention to caring for his cows, and teaches others to do the same.
