Saint Thomas, USVI
Leaving Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands for the BVIs. We were not on a cruise ship but rather a "bare boat" with our friends, two other couples. We were the captain and crew, cook and sleeper. (You always have one sleeper in the group, don't you?)

the Baths
The Baths on Virgin Gorda.
Rock formations form small pools and passageways along the beach.
Oliver
Oliver is just three years old.
Tomorrow, it is scheduled, that he will become the older brother of twin boys.
I'll keep you posted!
Oliver in the daffodils
The daffodils are beginning to come to full bloom and the sun is shining. I was home from Florida for just one week and it was time to leave again. Another travel opportunity which this Long Island Woman will never pass up!

far from shore
Ocean fishing on some rough water, we caught Amberjack and Rudderfish.
On the water, I'm very happy, the birds flying looking to catch some extra bait.
The water was fairly rough but it doesn't look so here. That's Singer Island in the distance.
Topaz
I didn't think I could enjoy boating in Florida. After all, what could rival the great boating in the Great South Bay? I must say that Florida's Intracoastal waterway is a wonderful surprise. I'm enjoying every minute of my time here but I'm blessed in that I will return to Long Island and enjoy my Long Island boating once again.

Jupiter sunrise
It seems that I'm drawn to taking sunrise shots. I guess I am. There is something so satisfying about seeing the start of another day. Our view, from our rented condo in Florida, faces east and the sunrises have been spectacular.
So forgive me for another sunrise image. I will soon be home, back to Long Island and will only see the sunrise if I get in my car and drive to the beach.

Intracoastal boat house
The homes along the Intracoastal are huge and beautiful. I'll take the boat house!

sunrise pier
The pier in Juno Beach is always a main attraction. Whether it be fishing, people watching, surfer watching or sunrise views, it's the place to go.

Juno sunrise
Took this shot this morning. It was all planned to have the sun right at the end of the pier!
There is this great free software which will help you plan your sunrise, sunset, & moonrise locations for the best shots on any given day. I'm lovin' it!

pink super moonrise
The super-full-moon as it came up over the ocean, tonight March 19th. The pink hue is due to the haziness in the air.
I wanted to include the car for size reference. It was super!!

HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!
Just a little decoration to celebrate the day!
On Long Island, it's a pretty big event holiday, with parades and lots of corned beef and cabbage. Many people even take off from work to participate in, or view, the NY City parade.
In Florida, the parades are smaller but the corned beef is just as plentiful!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
