Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.

Chenay Bay – Second night

Green flash at Sunset
Grill on Sprat Hall Beach. Then dined
in lush tropic style.

Chenay Bay – Second day

To Fredericksted.
Live music on Rainbow Beach.
Snorkel for beach glass.

Chenay Bay – First night

Island band’s Christmas
tunes with a reggae twist our
dinner serenade.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?

A Christmas story

If I could shoot my
eye out with that thing, I’d just
sit and watch TV.

Oh Christmas tree

We bring it home, put
it on life support so we
can hang ornaments.

Christmas tree lot

Sad orphans ripped from
the forest stretch out their limbs
pleading, ‘Take *me* home.”

Christmas lights

Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

Picking Christmas trees

Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.
