Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 7

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Didier

Today, rain showers followed by very sunny and hot periods, a kind of real tropical weather wow ;-) Direct Consequence of the weather: a visit to Shell Beach!

We had a well organized event on the beach: the 2nd day of a Victoria Secret’s shooting on the beach with Erin Heatherton, oulàlà :-) Quite funny as we could also follow the typical "paparazzi" trying to get some interesting pictures from far away with his huggge zoom lens…

On the other side, very cool colors with the cloudy/rainy sky and the beautiful transparent ocean there!

Another hot & sunny day! "Family" beach today, i.e. the whole morning at Saint Jean Pelican. Very quiet actually, with less families with kids as in February/March. Tomorrow (Wednesday) should be a rainy day… Good for shopping, let’s see!

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 5

Wonderful day, sunny, hot, the right day for Colombier ;-) It was just great, specially early in the morning (we were on the beach at about 08:20).

The walk was … different, as everything is super green!

The ocean was very calm with almost no swell, i.e. the underwater visibility was very high, pictures later this week.

This morning a visit at Gouverneur- Sunny – cloudy – rain shower – sunny – cloudy – …

Kind of virtuous circle ;-)

Pictures from the beach and from the ocean!

Cool weather this morning, hot!

So we were at Flamands beach, cool waves, sunny & windy, nice walk on the beach, extremely crowded as usual ;-)

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 2

Today, and specially this morning, weather was cool, with some fast rain showers (typical tropical ones). So a good day for Saline beach. Beautiful green nature, also in the ocean, with quite a lot of algae ;-)

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 1

Posted on August 4, 2011 by Didier

So, after an early breakfast at Maya’y to go, we went to Saint Jean. Quite a cloudy day, but still warm and pleasant!

Then, supermarket to fill the fridge correctly and back to our villa. Passing heavy showers and sun this afternoon.

Life is too short – Saint Barth in 2 weeks

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Didier

As life is too short, and after a (very) fast “family discussion” for a while, we have decided all three together that it is the right moment to return to Saint Barth a second time this year. And this, in exactly two weeks (we will arrive on August 3)!

We are all three just super mega happy, starting to prepare us for our coming stay in paradise.

It seems that the island is very green, so hopefully new perspectives for new pictures ;-)

(writing this post near our fireplace, strange cold summer here in Alsace/France…)

Provence, Baux-de-Provence, Saint Rémy, …

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Didier

We could have some days off end of April at Les Baux-de-Provence in South-East of France / Provence. A real nice stay actually! I finally invest the time to post-produce my photos. This time, no big equipment, just my little Canon S90 and DxO…

Ousteau de Baumanière

Ousteau de Baumanière, an excellent hotel, perfectly positioned near les Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (which is much nicer than les Baux, too much touristic and artificial for our taste), les Alpilles, Avignon, etc. Service was really great, as the room we had. Two restaurants in the hotel, both worth a visit ;-) L’Ousteau itself which is a 2* Michelin, absolutely fantastic, and la Cabro d’Or, a 1* Michelin, which is also very interesting. We had there a “vertical” degustation menu with 10 dishes all based on different excellent local olive oils, including the dessert!
