Go Where It's Warm
Going where the climate suits our clothes!
We were very lucky to come across a very pregnant female frogfish at a site close to our house a few weeks ago. She was all puffed up with eggs and about a foot away was a little yellow male at the ready. We didn’t get to see them spawn but my friend did., Read More
The final coral spawning event of 2019 came to a close last month here on Bonaire. It’s a spectacular sight and many shops put people in the water to witness this natural phenomenon. Given how the spawning process works an interesting question came up: Do divers in the water negatively impact the spawning process?
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) is the most devastating disease to hit stony corals in our lifetime. Most coral diseases flare up and die out within a year’s time but SCTLD has been raging in the Tropical West Atlantic & Caribbean for 5 years with no sign of slowing down. It’s not here, Read More
Winter is over. We’ve had to run our AC all day the past two weeks and the water temp is back up to 80. I absolutely love winter here and I’ll definitely miss it! I finally found a winter that I like! The weather is fantastic November through March. I love that we only, Read More
The Florida Keys are home to some tremendous paddling! The mangroves and ocean flats are teeming with life. I can’t get enough of being out there and we’ve lived here almost 2 years now. The mangroves and flats are my everything here. They’re where I go for exercise, peace, and to simply reconnect with, Read More
Have I mentioned that I can’t wait to go back to Bonaire? The diving, the island, the views, the flamingos! All of it. There’s not a single thing I didn’t like about our time there. Obviously the diving tops the list! Enjoy! Happy bubbles everyone!
I always say “everywhere has something and no where has everything” and it’s remained true so far in my life. I miss something about everywhere I’ve lived. When I left New England for coastal Virginia I missed mountains, hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing (although not winter) and the sound of natural running water. In, Read More
I hope you had a great week wherever you are! Our week in the Keys was great – but I’d venture to say that most weeks here are. Last weekend I was definitely feeling a little homesick or something but it passed pretty quickly. It passed while the post was still sitting in my, Read More
Sometimes it’s nice to get away even if it’s just for a couple of days. There’s something restorative about a change of scenery & about not having anything to do. There are no chores, yard work or dogs to take care of (love my dogs!) – just downtime. We recently returned from 2 nights, Read More
Welcome back my little friends! I can (and do) spend hours watching these magical birds all summer. They’re especially fun to watch in late summer when they become territorial over feeders & aerial battles ensue. I just put all three of our feeders out yesterday and am patiently awaiting my first visitor. At the, Read More
