Taken by a friend who brought me to this place.. thanks Lauren!
View on black (L) or Large pleeeze!
This is Petit Tabac, the smallest of five small Caribbean islands that make up The Tobago Cays (the other four are the ones I'm looking at in the pic). It's pretty close to your stereotypical desert island - a little bigger than a football field with a coral shoreline on one side, a sandy beach on the other and palm trees in the middle...... and it's remote! - we were the only two people to set foot on it that day!
This island featured in the first 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie and you'll often find the Tobago Cays listed in magazine & newspaper polls of 'top ten places to see before you die'......and with good reason, - it's a pretty special place :-)
(Btw, I wasn't meditating... I was nursing my foot after stepping on a piece of coral..... but it would've taken a lot more than that to ruin my day that day! :-) )
Yet another Lavish home on the gorgeous Island of Mustique. I must say I would mind this crib myself!
The Black Boy And Debbie Beach Bar on Salt Whistle Bay at the north end of Mayreau Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Eastern Caribbean, is a favorite yachtie hangout.
On our last night, there was a cool 22-degree halo around the moon.

A wild afternoon 'at the beach' as a passing storm brought both some dark clouds, heavy rains and an afternoon of surging waves up the beach, causing all sunbathers/swimmers to flee.
A lone yachtsman waits for the storms to pass before heading out, otherwise I had the whole bay to myself. Even on a grey cloudy day it still wonderful.

This excursion took me to Grand Etang Volcanic Lake, not in the shot, as I found the lake although pleasant and surrounded by peaks, really uninspiring as a photo. As you will no doubt have noticed by now I found the Mona Monkeys at this spot far more appealing!
The most popular areas in Grenada for hiking and trekking is undoubtedly the rainforest around the Grand Etang Forest Reserve, high up in the mountains of the island's interior. Grand Etang's varied elevations and terrains maintain several different ecological subsystems, culminating in the elfin woodlands high up the slopes of the reserve's central mountains. Grand Etang's flora includes towering mahogany and giant gommier trees as well as a multitude of ferns, tropical flowers, and other indigenous plants. The lush vegetation provides shelter for a wide variety of animals, particularly for the island's many species of birds. The broad winged hawk (known here as the gree-gree), Lesser Antillean swift, Antillean euphonia, purple throated carib, Antillean crested hummingbird (known as the Doctor Bird) and the Lesser Antillean tanager (known as the soursop) are all common sights. In addition, Grand Etang is populated by plenty of frogs and lizards, as well as playing host to opossums, armadillos, mongoose, and the Mona monkey. Hikes at Grand Etang range from easy 15 minute jaunts to rigorous expeditions of several hours. - See more at: www.grenadagrenadines.com/explore/attractions/eco-sites/g...

Looking up at the sails of the Yannis, which was a catamaran that we took on a snorkeling day trip to the Tobago Cays.

While I was up on the top of Spring last week, a series of storms started rolling through.
Here, a sole storm rainstorm passes across the Bequia Channel, between the two islands, with St Vincent obscured in the background.
I was standing in glorious sunshine watching this take place and yes, the boat got soaked ... caption contest for what was going through his mind at the time the image was captured.
