One of the things I loved most about being on payroll for another company was the opportunity for paid vacations.  Back in those days, I would plan out my vacation time, get what I could get done before that, and then go and have a wonderful, care-free time… Now that I’m in business for myself, there is always something to do, and for this reason, I have to think twice about taking a vacation (though I do know they are extremely important, I don’t want to be a workaholic).  Nonetheless, earlier this month, I had an opportunity that I could not pass up to spend a few days on the sun-kissed beaches of Scrubb Island in the British Virgin Islands.  Now this was my first time on anybody’s island, and what a treat it was!  Just about every direction you turned, there was a beautiful view… I think I was only in a car 3 or 4 times the entire trip… The other times, I was transported either by my own 2 feet or on a boat with the wind wisping across my face.  It’s in moments like these that you want to share the experience with family and close friends, and I was blessed with this opportunity as well.

While vacationing, there were plenty of moments that I just sat down and took in the scenes and finished 2 books… and then there were those moments that I pulled out my DSLR camera and “captured art and beauty in everyday life.”   See my images below…
