243 - Unwind

I'm a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees.  I've been to the tropics every year since I could afford it.  It's the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga. Bruno Tonioli

242 - Courage

Image
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

166 - The Lionfish

Image
Photgraphed the above lionfish while snorkeling in Bottom Harbour, N Eleuthera. There are several small patch reefs between Bottom Harbour Club and Cistern Cay a few hundred feet from shore. Everyone, no matter how small had at least 1 lionfish and several single rock reefs had 3 of them. We saw in total 12 to 15 size varied from very small 3inch to about 8 inch. What's The Problem?
