Wanderings of Chris and Robin

A catch-up of Robin’s Stuff

So every now and then I need to post an update of photo’s that Robin has captured.  She quietly captures some special moments and I can’t really say they fit together with special meaning other than it’s a look at what’s important to her… and that alone says a lot about what happens in her mind.  No wonder I love her so much I can’t stand it!

On the NE end of St Thomas there’s a little place called Red Hook.  It’s a hogepodge of marina’s, bus terminal and shops that seems to attract tourists, cruisers, and locals.  So we’re wondering down along a path close to the water on our way to Fish Tails for lunch and this lizard scampers right across the path and stops to take a look at us.  Robin grabs the camera and gets these shots:

Stops to look and make sure we're OK to continue along the walkway

 

As we tied the dinghy to the Government Dock to clear customs at BVI there was a very fast herron sitting on the dinghy next to us. Robin captured a blurry photo over my shoulder as it lept into the air at the last moment.

So just to give you an idea of how many opportunities there are to photograph wild life Robin turned around to get a great pose of a Pelican watching her attempting to photograph the herron:

This one was curiously watching Robin photograph a nearby herron... we didn't do too well with the herron but this guy saved the day!

 

One of Robin's absolute fascinations is with rainbows. This one was captured as we emerged from light rain showers on our way to White Bay, Jost Van Dyke on the west end of BVI. Pretty cool huh?
