sint maarten skies

it seems everyday this week i have pulled out my camera to capture the amazing skies we've been having. from lightning storms at night to the beautiful puffy clouds dotting the sky during the day, my eyes have been drawn up to the skies a lot this week. these skies make me cheerful while driving in the car as my mind is drawn to the heavens above. at the beach they have shaded the hot summer sun for a while. at night they have lured us all out to the balconies to stand in awe at the beauty and power of mother nature.

this week i am grateful for:

these beautiful skies i live under

my morning swim in the ocean today

the delicious summer fruits we've been enjoying

the nearing end to michael's 3rd semester

fun beach days with friends

long skype sessions with family

my body's responsiveness to the raw food diet

my life, my family, my friends

this was what i saw before i went down to swim this morning. it is such an enticing view!

this was taken last night from our main balcony and it looks like a painting to me

also taken last night from our kitchen balcony

michael pulled these from my camera by making freeze frames of a little video i shot

this was taken earlier in the week from the kitchen balcony

you can see the island saba in the distance

also taken earlier in the week

i will never tire of seeing cruise ships go by
