Nov 27 to Dec 2
As usual, it was a a challenge to find time to sort photos once I returned home to my normal life, so it’s taken a while to select a few from the hundreds I took with a waterproof camera on my recent Caribbean trip. I never missed an opportunity to go snorkeling; I love watching life beneath the surface. As I bobbed, I tried to steady my camera and take pictures of moving fishes, most turned out blurry. Twice I donned a BCD, buoyancy compensator device, a vest which keeps a tank of air firmly attached to my back, and I descended fifty feet to the sea floor, once to a sunken tug boat and once to a beautiful coral garden, where I was mesmerized by the sea life.
