The "SXM: A Few Of My Favorites" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Loading all the photos I took with my DSLR as well as my iPhone during my recent vacation to St. Martin/Sint Maarten into my MacBook Air.  Went through the photos and deleted over half of them.  Many of the photos I put into files to be used for the stories I posted and from the remaining photos my wife and I chose our favorites.  The following are the selections we made as favorites with a brief description if needed.  Please click on images to enlarge them.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

These two friends were running on the beach one morning.   They stopped in front of me, one laid down while the other decided to relieve himself on the other.  Just being dogs!

I must have taken a few hundred photos of flowers.  Carol liked the dark background on this one.

This guy is showing his colors.

Scared?  It wasn't more than an inch long!

One of the few photographs I took in the town of Grand Case that didn't show devastation.

We had a few visitors everyday.  None of them became friends with us.

Anna!

I doctored the colors since it was a rainy day with dreary colors on Great Bay in Philipsburg. 

We had both Sugar Birds and Hummingbirds visit our bird feeder every day. 

This little guy wasn't more than 3" long.  A meal to many of the birds in the neighborhood.

Even rain can be beautiful!

The daily storm clouds had just passed.  Truly beautiful!

Another photo taken with my iPhone.  Even seaweed can be interesting.

This child's toy was one of the few items on the decimated resort of Club Orient that had any color.  Caught my eye immediately.  Actually brought it home as a souvenir.

Our love has lasted a long, long time!
