Just to inform you (hope I’m not bothering…) that I’m participating to a photo contest organized by SmugMug and BayPhotoLab with an unusual topic: "Perfect Pairs" (they are celebrating their partnership).

Have a look at the submissions (already 900!), some of them are really good.

I have submitted 3 pictures from our last Winter trip to Saint Barth in February.

I you like one of them, you can help me and vote (comment, Facebook or Twitter) after having clicked on the picture below. And if you don’t like them, just forget this post ;-)

Wednesday

So, yesterday (Wednesday) was our last full day in Saint Barth, whole morning at Saline, again. Very breezy, quite a lot of seaweeds on the beach, less in the water ;-) Crazy how this evolved within 2 days!

 

Thursday

Today, we are flying back to France, holidays are over! Almost 24 hours of travel, brrr… We were again at Le Gaiac yesterday evening, just great moment and the right place to "close" our stay in Saint Barth.

Wow, writing this post from the terrace, protected from the heavy rain showers, eating a banana ice cream from "Le Petit Deauville". So, no beach today, as we went for shopping this morning (very breezy), and had a good lunch at Le Repaire.

Open air cinema

So, back to one event on Sunday evening: we were for the first time at the Open air cinema (AJOE in Lorient), which was a great experience (movie was X-Men the Origins, in French ;-). First you have to take a chair and to choose the place where you want to put your chair, very funny (see below). The sky was enough clear – almost full moon – to see a lot of stars. I was quite disturb by this nice spectacle in the sky beside the movie itself!!

Villa nightly shots

I have also done some pictures by night from the villa in the last days. As a reminder, I took these pictures at 11pm, i.e. it was fully dark ;-)

Very sunny and hot morning today, this afternoon, heavy rains, so a very long nap for the whole family!

Now sitting on the terrace with a Romeo y Julieta & a Rhum Vanille, a lot of lightnings on the ocean, but without rain till now, listening to U2/The Joshua Tree.

Life is good :-)

This morning, we were first at the Corossol beach. Really marvelous again, but a very tiny beach actually. So, after a while, we decided to go back to Saline… Pffuuu, again fantastic colors, some funny waves to play with my son.

Again a very hot and sunny day, this time … with a lot of seaweeds on Flamands beach. Still very calm and clear, but on the "right side" of the beach (near the hotel Isle de France). The other side was really full of seaweeds… This is something new for us at Saint Barth. No jellyfish but seaweeds this year!

Wow, that was a super sunny warm day :-) Definitely warmer now than in February, outch! And definitely much more mosquitos as ever!

Seems that we are really lucky with the weather as June/July was quite terrible on the island for tourists, not for locals and their water citterns, as for the nature! Everything is so green, crazy.

We were today at Lorient beach, long walk on the beach, almost nobody there. Good day ;-)

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!
