caribbean spring

i love living here 

but i do miss the seasons

although for the record:

no i don't miss winter

i don't miss snow one bit

but i miss spring

and fall

this is our second season here

the first year i thought there were two seasons

rainy and dry season

but since i am a flower lover 

i am seeing that we do have different seasons
i can tell by the different flowers that bloom
at certain months

our rainy season has just finished, 

the skies are often still cloudy but the rains have lessened

 so this is a typical spring flower.

i think while the spring flowers are in bloom 

i will highlight signs of our spring.

stay tuned.

laying around

these are my earrings.

i love to wear earrings

i really love them!

i collect funky ones.

but here's the problem:

in the evening when i am chillaxing on the couch

the earrings dig into the side of my head

so i take them off and toss them on the coffee table.

the light on these were perfect though,

don't you think??

who knew dust bokeh would be so pretty.

see  it pays to not be too tidy!!   

have a good weekend.

it's pizza night at our place.

oh yeah!!!

worth the wander

we are blessed to be renting

a piece of property on the ocean that

has over 2 1/2 acres of trees, flowers, fruit, nuts etc.

i often wander 

just looking to see what i can find.

today on the far side of the property i found this

bush with these lovely flowers on it.

the interesting part is that on one stem you sometimes

get a white and a purple flower.

not today though.

oh well.

worth the wander

yes

even if i got bite like crazy

but fire ants

so imagine me trying to photograph this

and every now and then 

jumping up and down saying

ow ow ow!

still worth it.

so beautiful.

have a good day!

wild horses

imagine 

driving up the road to the grocery store

and see two wild horses just grazing

along the side of the road.

no halter

no bridle

no owner

just nibbling on grass

minding their business

i was surprised how close I got to them 

before they decided to meander off.

 

all in the course of a day in roatan!

pizza shell

I am a little emotional this morning.

Our son David is flying back to Montreal this afternoon

and already I feel the loss of him.

Today after having coffee together we decided

to go for one last morning beach walk.

We both love photography so it is a wonderful

ritual that we enjoy to start the day capturing the beauty 

around us.

David is a much better photographer then I

He has taught me so much this week.

I am blessed to have a son who enjoys being with me

We talk endlessly

and try to solve the world's problems,

we laugh,

I listen to the sounds and aches of his heart

we sometimes bicker

but all in all it is a delight to be together.

As we were walking along I saw these boys standing beside this  blue house

and I said.

Oh David isn't that a great color as a backdrop?

Indeed!

kenfor, christopher, preston

So here are the boys.

Inside their shirts were many little beach shells.

David bought 3 of them.

Hence the pizza shell.

Little Christopher said,

"I gots a shell dat looks like  pizza.. you want dat?"

Fo' shore!!
small treasures,
wonderful memories of being together.

missing you already david

♥ L.O.V.E ♥

Psalm 136

comes to mind.

in order for the Psalmist David to get this truth across

he said it 26 times

not once,

not twice 

but

26 times.

okay God I get it...

Your love endures forever.

In Roatan there isn't any commercialism to this holiday

no pink hearts in windows,

no scented candles

no roses on sale...

no consumer push at all.

i love it.

this morning i woke up 

leaned over to bob and said,

"i love you so much. 

i can't imagine being with anyone but you"

love expressed simply.

l.o.v.e

given

and 

received.

His

love 

endures 

forever

I am who I am because of that

Thanks Lord.

dappled

seadancer

is a place we love to visit

we lived there for the first 6 months here on the island.

bob and i are team share owners in one of the units.

i love how the green arches over the road.
  roatan is so very green.
so beautiful... even on a quiet little road.

i love how the sun dappled through the trees, 

and how their is a natural arch of color there.

isn't it amazing that even a small country road can be so beautiful?

our son david is visiting and he is blown away by how green 

everything is here.

we still like to go to visit people and to use the dock.

this is david our son.
he edited this photo.

blessed.
