Do you ever wish you could switch jobs with your significant other just for a day?

My significant other works on a boat and I know for a fact I would do a terrible job but it would be a lot of fun to go to work with him. Every week he takes guests to Virgin Gorda to explore The Baths. The Baths are giant boulders scattered along the shore and are an amazing natural creation to explore by walking through or snorkeling around. I highly recommend that you include it in your next adventure to the Virgin Islands. You can even rent a small guesthouse within the boulders that is wonderful, take a look HERE.

Can you image...

I found a message in a bottle washed up on the beach?

Just like in the movies!!!

I was so excited to find it I had to bring it home and open it up to see what the note said.  I was expecting the note to say something about being stranded on island and I started to wonder what would make a person write a message in a bottle if they weren’t stranded on an island.

What would your message say?

Do you have weekend plans?

I’m photographing a sunset wedding on Saturday and taking Sunday off to do nothing. I’m hoping the sun will come out so I can go to the beach, the tourist are starting to look tanner then I do. 

I blame it all on the weather.

I’m having one of those weeks where I keep giving myself a little pep talk. Do you ever have those days where you’re so exhausted it feels as though your whole world is about to end because of one little annoyance?  My little annoyance is growing by the bite; it’s a very fast and fat mosquito.

It’s been raining a lot on St John the last couple of weeks, which has created pretty flowers and pestering mosquitoes. I’m ready for the sun to come out and shine.

Maybe we should all do a little dance at the same time?

This week while my blog has been getting a little make over I’ve found a new obsession – “font quotes.”

(top photo source, bottom photo source) 

Did you ever draw on the walls with your crayons when you where young?

Sometimes I feel like drawing all over the walls of my house, maybe that’s why I like Banksy so much. Banksy is an English based graffiti artist that isn’t afraid to get in trouble for writing on the wall or saying how he really feels. 

I’m a big fan of doing both!

Wow, is it a beautiful day on St John.

I still have those moments in my life where I have to stop in amazement and say to myself, "I can’t believe I really live here and call this place home.”

The photo above was made on Hawksnest Bay Beach.

It was the backdrop for the wedding I photographed this morning.

I hope there is something within your weekend that also takes your breath away.

Confession, I have arachnophobia!

Last week I started digging in the ground where I have my garden planted in pots, to try something new. Come to find out my garden is infested with tarantulas! Which explains all of those small holes in the ground. Doesn’t really make me feel like getting down on my knees and planting a seed in the ground, if you know what I mean. Of course I know nothing about a tarantula, and I’m thinking these hairy, crawly, monsters are going to fly up onto my face, and with one bite I will die in the backyard.

Since my phobia is getting in the way of my gardening I’ve decided to do a little research.

Come to find out I cannot die from a tarantula bite, if they did bite me it would be more like a bee sting. I also found out that tarantulas might be some of the biggest spiders in the world but they are the least aggressive and really aren’t that dangerous (just scary.) Tarantulas are also very fragile, so they aren’t likely to be jumping up at my face (sigh of relief.)

About.com has a pretty interesting list if you too need more tarantula information: 10 Cool Facts About Tarantulas.
