Healey's Favorite Beach, Beef Island, British Virgin Islands


This is my friend and boss, she took me to visit her dog's favorite beach.  She calls it Healey's beach after the dog.  We had a blast of a time.  It was a simple walk until she decided to take me hiking over some gigantic rocks.  I am physically out of shape but I made it even though I got a bit dehydrated and my friend had to run back to the house (which was not far) to get me some water. She was so patient and attentive.  She is a wonderful human being - photogenic too!  Thanks my friend!


This is Healey! She just loves the water, she swam, chase some goats (which we did not see), had a good roll in the sand - she just had an awesome time!

Bartender At Bomba Shack, Capoons Bay, Tortola British Virgin Islands

I am so excited about these pictures.  You see I took them about 2 months ago and I thought that I lost them.  I found them by accident them yesterday and was so elated!  It was beautiful surfing day that day and I took almost 100 pictures!  Well of course I can't post all so I chose the best one - which was a task because to me they all look good.

This young lady was serving at the bar - Bomba Shack - located on Apple Bay, Tortola BVI.  This is a favorite beach for surfers, at the early parts of the year when the waves are larger than usual.

I ordered and drink and asked the bartender for her picture and the posed for me!!!  I think she is from Guyana.  Here she is  serving guest on the right.  Bomba Shack is a very shacky looking place but it is a hang spot that is a 'must see' for tourist.

Praying Mantis

It has been a while since I have seen a Praying Mantis.  Looks like it is a very young one because it is very small.
