Overlooking the beach at Carambola Beach Resort.
At the beach, not too far from Sandy Point.
Sitting in a life guard chair at Cramer Park.
Fort Frederik in Frederiksted.
The pier at Frederiksted, where the cruise ship dock and people go swimming and scuba diving.
Geocaching atop Mound Eagle, the highest point on St. Croix. Compared to the Himalayas, calling this a mountain is almost a joke.
Exiting the "rain forest" at St. Georges Botanical Garden.
A pool of lilies? at the botanical garden.
The botanical garden is at the site of an old plantation ruin.
The eastern end of the island is more dry and has cactus.
Sunset on the boat ride from Tortola back to St. Croix. We held one funeral service for my mother on St. Croix, then took her to Tortola for a second funeral service and entombment at the same location where my father was buried twenty years ago. In this photo, from front to back, my brother Pierre, two of his sons, my uncle Irvin.
At my mother's house, there are numerous fruit trees. This is one branch of the Avocado tree.
These are coconut trees.
This is a lime tree, but these limes are as big as oranges and very sour.
My mother was a rose enthusiast. The house is surrounded by rose bushes.
I told you this place is crawling with cats. Actually this is at the dock of one of the small islands in the Marmara Sea, just off the coast of Istanbul.
Meet my friend Tugba. (It is pronounced Tooba. The g is supposed to have a breve on top, but today my computer is not cooperating.) I stayed with her on the big island my last weekend in Istanbul. She has like a million cats. One of which wakes you up in the morning by purring in your ear and prodding you with his paws.
Street scene on the big island.
View of another island from the big island.
This building is supposed to be the largest wooden building in Europe. However, since this island is off the Asian coast of Istanbul, rather than the European coast, I don't think this building is in Europe.
