Fire Balls On Beef Island British Virgin Islands

At first you would think that these are pictures of pieces of junk. But they are pieces of art done by the Argorn Studio situated at Trellis Bay, Beef Island, BVI.

It is an Caribbean arts and crafts center offering, T-shirts, original metal sculptures, pottery, handmade baskets and calabash bowls. They also have various craft workshops.

Every month at full moon, the circle and square structures are filled with pieces of wood and set afire for a full moon party. This venue (Trellis Bay) has gotten quite popular over the past few years. They also keep a Old Years Party. There is normally a live local band and Moko Jumbies to entertain the crowd.

The structures are firmly positioned in the sea, near to shore. The first one that was positioned was the ball. In those days, the full moon party was mostly attended by the tourists who had their yachts anchored nearby. As the party grew in popularity, more local residents now attend these parties on a regular basis.

Amazingly Sweet

The name of this fruit is Five Fingers. A friend of ours has a beautiful garden with a variety of trees: Mango, Golden Apple, Five Fingers, Coconut, Bananas and others. Occasionally he would call us over to pick some of the fruits. One day we went to pick some coconuts and I saw my husband walking up the hill eating this fruit - Five Figures. I was amazed because I know this fruit to be typically very acid. He just took a large bite of the fruit. I could not understand it. To top it off, he asked me if I wanted a bite. Definitely No!!!!

But as he was eating, I would see the juices falling from his mouth. I did eventually take a small bite with the expectation that it would be acid and I was greatly surprised. Boy was it sweet - real sweet!!!!

When we get the opportunity to pick some of this fruit, I cut them horizontly and the cuts look like stars. I pack these 'stars' for a snack at work.

Thank You

My first posting for today is to give thanks. I have another website, about What To Cook, and I said to myself that I am really having fun taking pictures for my site. I would like to have another website about my passion on photography. But I had to save enough money to purchase the domain, hosting etc.

One day I was going through the Ad Sense website and I realized that blogger.com is part of their program. Then I got an inspiration that I can develop my website/blog about my pictures PLUS it is free! Therefore I could put my dream into gear - no excuses!

For the few days since I started adding pictures to my blog, I am having fun and feeling good about it. I even have another idea to develop another blog on beautiful hair.

Developing this blog is so easy, I like the fact that I can up load my pictures of any size. I once was a member of a program where you can upload your pictures and get paid if anyone purchases your pictures. On two occasions, my payment arrived late and within that time, my images were deleted. On the last occasion, I was very annoyed and never continued using their service. In addition, the pictures had to be of a particular size AND no one purchased my pictures.

Today I did some prep work for three pages of my website and everything went well. I prepared the food and took pictures step by step.

THANK YOU!!
