A beach scene on St. Lucia. September 13, 2001.
I mentioned in my last Scenic Sunday post that Betsy and I took a catamaran cruise down the west coast of St. Lucia to Soufriere when our cruise ship stopped at Castries, the capital.
The picture above, which can be enlarged by clicking on it, was taken on our way back up the coast to Castries. As we came up the coast we passed a resort (I’m sorry I don’t know the name) and the catamaran moved closer to the shore so we could get a better look.
As we came along this narrow palm-covered point of land I got this picture. It has always looked to me what I thought a tropical paradise should look like. And I don’t mind telling you that I wouldn’t mind going back there. Betsy likes the beach — do you think I could talk her into it?

Pretty photo George. Almost reminds me of scenes from “Gilligan’s Island!” You two should definitely make it back to visit there and share more pictures with us.
Thanks for your prayers and support for Nalley and me. We appreciate your and Betsy’s friendship.
Enjoy your day.

Good luck in talking Betsy into going.LOL

February 1, 2009 at 11:20 am |
Now that Betsy has agreed, you should go ahead with your plans and treat us to more scenic shots!
February 1, 2009 at 11:27 am |
George: Very nice capture from the islands.
February 1, 2009 at 12:03 pm |

February 1, 2009 at 1:04 pm |
What a heavenly place! I hope for you and your wife, you will be able to go back there!
February 1, 2009 at 1:22 pm |
What woman would say no to that?! Absolutely gorgeous and it’s warm there. 🙂 Lovely photo.
February 1, 2009 at 2:39 pm |
It sure looks idyllic! I bet Betsy would go back for a vacation for sure…especially in winter!
February 1, 2009 at 3:20 pm |
TThank you for sharing your beautiful trip by catamaran.
February 1, 2009 at 3:28 pm |
Seeing the palm trees makes me wonder why I’m not there, especially since about an hour ago I was up to my knees in snow trying to take the”perfect shot.” Ha! Turns out the shot was far from perfect!)

Hi George,
That looks so peaceful and relaxing! Hope you can talk Betsey into going again. Thanks for stopping by my place. Have a great day!!

Island in the sun sounds about perfect right now as we long for a Spring that feels mighty far away!
February 1, 2009 at 6:45 pm |

I hope you can convince Betsy to return. Looks like a lovely place to thaw out!
February 1, 2009 at 9:10 pm |
What a fantastic scene. It is a good way to escape winter land here. 🙂
Have a happy Monday.

Hi George, what a great place to relax and enjoy the beach..we have enjoyed our fruit flower arrangement!!! My husband is feeling much better and we will share our 41st anniversary tomorrow.. thanks for your visit to my place. Baba
February 2, 2009 at 12:41 am |
I see it didn’t take Betsy long to say yes! 🙂
February 2, 2009 at 12:48 am |
I had thoughts along the line of what Neal said…LOL It is such a serene scene. A lot of our snow melted today…but it will still be a while before we see the bare ground.
February 2, 2009 at 2:48 am |
You’re right. You can’t get any more tropical looking than all of those palm trees right on the edge of the sand. Great shot!
🙂
February 2, 2009 at 12:18 pm |
Oh, I would love to got there. Wonderful picture.
February 2, 2009 at 2:18 pm |
The name alone sounds like a vacation. Very scenic indeed. Now, someone pass me an umbrella drink to complete my relaxation 🙂
February 2, 2009 at 3:07 pm |
What a beautiful photo of a beautiful place. I’d love to be somewhere like that right now. Out my window, however, MORE snow is falling!
February 2, 2009 at 4:47 pm |
LOL I saw Betsy’s comment. So it looks like you are going. How wonderful.
February 2, 2009 at 9:17 pm |
What a BEAUTIFUL photo of a LOVELY warm place … methinks I’d love to visit as well ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
