 I was begining to look out for CARNIVAL 50, even though it was not going to be anything like what we have grown accustomed to over the years, but it would be something rather than nothing, but now the people in charge are putting certain "things" on pause because another "strain" is supposedly on the loose. I do not have any problem with cancelling anything, and changing plans and programs in the public interest, because we should expect this action from people who are trying their very best to err on the side of caution, and to keep our nation safe. However, nothing has been said yet about the possible effects of the "strain"on our CARNIVAL 50 which is running in de bubble. It is very strange that this or similar action did not apply to the International Cricket hosted in SKB just  months ago, where our safety was tried, tested and proven with a real community spread in the thousands, during the tournament period, but evasive action is already put in pla...

Greetings, Happy New Year, Welcome to my photo blog for 2017, never mind that we are closer to year end than beginning. I post pictures almost every day on Facebook but somehow scribing a few words here just slipped my mind.  This should be a pretty active year but I will try to be brief and keep out of trouble. The only troublesome 'thing' in skn is politics, and I am keeping out of that. These days everything has a political flavour, but I am trying very hard not to be contaminated, maybe touched is a better word, so as to maintain my sanity. Speaking of sanity, it appear to me that insanity is on the rise as more people get themselves involved in some aspect of politics. I would add 'that does not concern them', but many would disagree with that, as the feeling seem to be that everything about politics concerns everyone.  I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I believe that we should let the politicians be themselves and do what they do best. I do not see u...

Before I roll out today let me take a minute to update my blog. Yesterday afternoon as I stepped out onto my gallery, I was greeted by "the national weapons of mass destruction", a couple of lovable vervet monkeys on the wall across the street eating a mango. I just hope it was the first mango picked, bitten and liked. This mango season we will again hear the cries from fruit tree owners as these "weapons of mass destruction" make life difficult for some of us in their bid to continue surviving in fertile Liamuiga. I am of the view that it is time we send the monkey back to their homeland. They were brought here for a purpose which has since expired, and since they no longer serve that purpose, and we no longer need them here send them back home. I hope today is a monkey free day for me. In a recent video documentary they claimed that there are more monkeys than people in our islands. I do not believe that it is too late for us to do something about the e...

February 16th ushered in a new wave.  All change is good, but you can't tell that to some folks, of course we know why. After 30 days I am able to capture on film some of the environmental changes that to my mind should have taken place a very long time ago. I do not wish to get into any politics, suffice to say that with this change, it appears to me that some folks have recommitted to being the best employee they can be, without the need for any additional salary. My Saturday afternoon walk took me  up the hill to the R.L.Bradshaw International Airport, and for the first time in years, to be exact, the first time since the bypass road was constructed that I can really appreciate the landscape. It appear that we are finally getting to where we should have been years ago. But then, there is the saying that "nothing happens before its time", and some of us believe that to be true. Many things are happening in our little skn, like the sudden increase in crime an...

I like it here in St Kitts and Nevis. We are never short on excitement. Cricket ain't well finish, the know it all media is giving us a date for the General Elections in SKN, which are constitutionally due in 2015. I just love this place. Music can't done. Photography can't done either. News can't done. The never ending monthly excitement continues. I also hope we are getting just as excited over the second coming of the KING. There are many things to talk about in SKN, but when Federal elections are in the air, many of these life changing issues just get deleted, because the next government of the people is expected to usher in "a new thing", like heaven on earth. I have been around for a while and I am yet to see this happen. It may be true that some circumstances or situations improve, but the changes that the people really think that they want do not happen. And it is like the would be politicians forget what they told the constituents in the campaig...

If I was a different kind of person this post heading could be followed by an 'F' word, with an exclamation mark or two. But don't let me deprive you, feel free to use your imagination as creatively as you wish. For those of us who feel 'holier than' we need to understand a few things. We live in a very real world, and if we ain't doing anything to change the culture, we need to shut up, either get with it, or move on.  Now, having done with the pleasantries and housekeeping, let us move on and get into my August. I am happy to be alive, Thanks and Praise to the Master, the Creator, for my being here on planet earth at this time. I am seeing and doing some things never dreamed of. We know that all things are possible, we only need to believe. But that is something many of us have a problem with. We need to see to believe. But we need to see in more than one dimension. Some folks will tell us that we have to use our brain and our heart, and some may say use ...
