My first trip to the Caribbean was last January when a friend of mine and I went to Jamaica. Have you ever been? It is just a lovely place to visit - for the people, for the water, for the forests ... We stayed at two locations (a retreat place in the mountains and a seaside cottage) and got around the island on day trips or walks. We took pictures; we ate good food; we listened to local music.
But when we came back home (to a rather chilly Washington D.C.), some of the memories faded. And those that stuck around are documented below in my photos. I like taking photos to capture snippets of time and experiences.
I treasure these moments and adventures as they enrich my life. What moments most resonate with you? What do you take away from your travels?

 Stumbling upon a "kitchen" on a stick ... |  Eating a fresh banana picked from the tree ... |
 Having a friendly encounter on a hike .. |  Finding a smiling face engraved into stone ... |
 Watching nine puppies on a bridge ...  Spotting a hammock and knowing it is right there just for me ... |  Going for a walk in the morning mist ...  ... and watching the loveliest of sunsets! |
