Can’t sleep – 2 am

Wind chimes jangle in
the breeze. Nature’s alarm clock
saying, “Go to sleep.”

Chenay Bay – Fifth day

Through the rainforest.
Lunch at Rhythms Rainbow Beach,
then Carambola.

Caribbean sunrise

Soft watercolor
pre-dawn shifts to vividly
rendered intense hues.

Chenay Bay display

Wet bathing suits, striped
towels hang from porch rails like
vacation banners.

Chenay Bay – First day

Kayak to Green Cay.
Snorkel among reefs. Head back,
sunburned and happy.

St. Croix – end of day

Cruzan pineapple
flavored rum makes happy hour
even happier.

Reggae breakfast

We eat cereal
on the porch by the sea, while
island music plays.

Caribbean morning

Intense turquoise, the
water is a wake-up call
to swim, sun, sail, dream.

Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.

It’s not Christmas without…

Andy Williams. Bing
Crosby. John Lennon. Jose
Feliciano.
