Last summer I met a gal in the islands that just bought a white gsd pup from Nina. I got to know her as a friend, but as time has gone by I can’t help but see all the magic she’s filled with. Adren is as unique as her name, she’s so talented and able. She lives a simple life and fills it with wonder. She likes my crazy ideas and I’d follow her on just about anything she can dream up. We found love on that little island and now I’m counting down the days til I get to show her around my special places back in the mountains.
A solo run up to the ruins for sunset proved to be a good decision. It’s my last full week down here, we are going to make it count! #usvi #nationalpark
Scenes from my bed. Waking up here sure is special. Cains always glued to me in bed while sage enjoys being out on the porch.
The sun sure is rising early down here now. The wind has been really calm lately, signs summer is here on the island. This morning the bay looked like a calm lake. which means crystal clear water and we are going to have to go for a big snorkel trip today! #usvi #travel #gsd #sunrise #tentlife
The Kestrels in the yard just had chicks. It’s really cool watching them scoop up lizards and smaller prey for their hatchlings. #kestrel #birds #birdphotography #usvi #visitusvi #wildlife
While the masses dressed themselves in green and headed for the bars , our crew knew that would mean we would have the beaches to ourselves. Not to knock it too much, I was once immersed in all of that, but those busy bars and drunk people seem to chip away at my soul anymore. These waves, a crackling campfire, pups playing on the beach and good friends fill me right back up. #usvi #beachfire #camping
Exploring with the friends of the USVI NP. The gals checked on turtle nests on a remote island and I got to learn from them along the way. It’s wonderful to be around folks who care for this place so deeply. #usvi @visitusvi
Virgin Island basecamp is coming along! I’ve enjoyed the hard work down here and living without all the comforts, it’s so rewarding seeing it all come together bit by bit. I hope to have a working kitchen and power by the end of the month. Certain things take a bit more time down here. The dogs are enjoying the hell out of it and I’m really loving life by the sea as well. #usvi #canvastent #glamping #islandlife #gsd
