Monday Blues 8

Today I feel a bit inspired by SeaLaura's post. I want a beach day. Funny considering I live on an island, but alas... Mimi has been a busy body recently with many things work related. It's ok, the butterflies have not decided to revolt as of yet!

This picture was taken at the Baths in Virgin Gorda. The boulders on shore are fantastic and make a ton of really cool windows and "caves" to hang out in and climb about. I, too, want to go sailing. Alas, no time yet. I am off to do more stuff until I need sleep again. Ay me!

Remember, you can participate in Monday Blues as well! Just leave a comment with a link to your "Monday Blues" post or just the picture. Happy New Week!

So gloomy...

Since it is so gloomy out and has been for the past week and a half (thanks to Gustav, Hanna, and Ike tail bands) I needed to remind myself how beautiful and sunny it can be here. These were from a recent trip I took to Virgin Gorda, a nearby island.

This is me in front of one of the amazing boulders at the Baths and the beautiful Caribbean Sea. And no, the photo has not been altered.


The Baths are an unusual occurrence of large granite boulders forming grottoes and pools everywhere. Their formation is subject to debate, but many believe it to be molten rock that bubbled to the surface, or such extreme amounts of erosion that this is what was left behind.
