Surprised by a camera...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 February 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

A local had just climbed the palm tree and cut open the coconuts for us. We were eating fresh coconut and drinking the milk when someone called our names ... *snap*! ............. What a face, Judy! :D

We spent 10 days w/28 other frostbiters on five chartered boats, sailing among the islands, getting sun, snorkeling and having a wonderfully memorable time! Our boats are anchored just out of sight behind us and to the right, in deeper water.

PS: We are on the exclusive Peter Island, standing in the little valley just under Deadman's Bay if you look at the map.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

How fun - the scenery looks wonderful and brings back some memories of my own (I lived in the US Virgin Islands for a couple years many years ago.).....

@Chris: Living there had to be a wonderful adventure ... it is truly beautiful, however 'paradise' can also present its challenges.
