Kirkland with a sea turtle-he released it...this day

Our return back from sea

A visit to Russel Island to see Apay and the Haitians play Dominos. Clothes pins are placed on the arms of the losers.

Nighttime entertainment was games, singing, and endless, facinating stories by the Pinder men.

A trip to Eluthra Island to pick mangoes and visit Preacher Cave and "Bat Cave"

A precious mango

We ended our trip with some wave running thanks to the gracious Kathy

Log/Pic 88 Mexico X-Rails

So my next stop this summer was to Mexico. Lisa and I took this X-Rail adventure. A forty-five minute mud-slinging ride in this vehicle left us looking like this.

We ended at some cenotes.

Some took a swim in these underground caves-not us! This green stagnant water was just screaming yeast infection.

This is our buggy guide grabbing me a bandage for my cut finger-it got stuck in the wheel when I lost control and drove into the jungle.

45 minutes four-wheelin' journey back left us exausted, muddy, soaking wet, and...

happy as pigs in sh$% mud!

Log/Pic 87 Coffee Art

So this month I had a display at a cool coffee house in Litchfield.
Set up took over four hours.
26 photographs
The Coffee Ground has this conference area,
a fireplace,
couches,
and big comfy chairs to relax in.
I also did Litchfield's craft fair.
Here i am replacing sold photos.
It was loaded with leaf peepers!
Very successful show.
Very happy boy!

Log/Pic 86 The Cayman Islands

Our third stop this summer was the Cayman Islands. We had been there before not had not dove "The Wall."

This was our 2nd dive-a ship wreck with a Buddha!

And a bicycle-note the diver riding the bicycle.

Sea anemememeneanee

Lionfish-now all over the caribbean.

Sponges

And of course turtles.

I never get sick of seeing them.

The sadness of a safety stop-I never want to surface.
