We are getting a bit long on the other thread - thought I better start this on!
No one has been on the beach today!

Hola Mary, just so you know you are not alone

Had to go to a meeting. Isn't it annoying when work gets in the way of camming?

Hi Janetv3!

Mary & Cynde, I just spoke w/Rafa's girlfriend and it seems he still without power, no work and definitely he is going to have to throw away that chicken and the pork chops!!

All is slow in PR and Cynde you know that very well!!!!!

I like how the shade of the palm tree looks - which I was there!

Do you see the divers in your shot, Elvira?

little bit o company

fishes

LaDonna

Oh La Donna are we in synch today or what? exactly the same moment!

Janetv3 I whole heartly agree..
meetings ( the paid alternative to work) can be quite a bother when your camming


Alison

janetv3.......too funny!!!! I usually double like that with Mary!!!!

LaDonna

Janetv3 - no I did not. I guess I was day dreaming and wishing I was on one of those lounge chairs.

ooh oooh oooh

sorry that's so pretty I have to make it bigger

Whew, back again! My neighbours came over for a visit too, Janice left and now Mr. Quinn is sleeping.

Congratulations Mary to Dirk! I am jealous of your trip, no kids!!!. I love your hardwood floor story.

Cynde, no camera today, Joel has it for the field, but no to worry there will be some photos. He is doing the swimming motion, or the butt goes in the air high and then boom! Down it goes!

Elvira, I am glad to hear that Rafa is OK.

I would love to be relaxing here.

Me too Eileen!

OK, the chairs are available, Let's go!!!

Me three !

Eileen, is good to see you in check-in in the afternoon. I can imagine Quinn doing the swimming motion.

OK - Mary started this thread and she has not been seen since, where are you?

One more hour to go and I am so out of here !!

Hi Leigh!!

Cable's back on. lol

Elvira - I do have to work sometime! Also we are in the middle of some of Ivan's leftovers - lights are flickering - tornado warnings are being announced - I bit scary to watch out of my office window.

Eileen - your description of his attempts brings back memories!

I'll come join you guys in the chairs! Elvira - glad to hear the Rafa is still okay - but I know it is frustrating living without power!

TANGS....WAAAA...MY FAVORITE!!!

Bit of diver action too! Did I mention Joel is home early too? Maybe I will have the rest of the afternoon for myself! Probably not.

Elvira, yes, things move VERY slow in PR! Poor Rafa!

I like this one too...


and just the Sarge's left...

Hi Dilly! More tangs!

LOL, now I have resorted to talking to myself...hee hee...

Dilly the tangs have you so flustered - you just said hi to yourself!!LOL!!

Looks to be a pattern - the school seems to show up about this time everyday!

Mary, yes, it looked so inviting, especially the ones with the divers...I wanted to be THERE! I love watching schools of tangs working their way down the reef!

This one's shy...doesn't want to show his face...bashful little critter!

Boy, lots of divers today!

This diver reminds me of the baraccuda the other day...taunting us!

Lots of tangs again!

Eileen, just look at them laying there waiting for the sunset...phhhttt! I'm NOT jealous....REALLY!

I wouldn't be either.

Kewl...

Wonder what the black dot is...dirt on the lens or a bird?

Well, that's not the pic I wanted...it was on the South Beach Cam now it's gone...but there is a black dot between the boats...

Hi Dilly, it's a parasail....too bad we can see the colors!

Black dots gone now...


they look like ghosts...


Gee, am I the only one here? I guess I will just keep talking to myself...Hi Dilly!

Wow Kathy! Such a small dot! Glad you have power back!

I'm in and out, Dilly. I had a LOT to catch up on, lol. A day and a half without my internet, wah.

They're coming back in.

Clearer view

See the parachute??

yup! It was so small on the first one that I thought it must have been a spec of dirt! LOL!

Well thank you all for a great day of camming! It was really a blast chatting with you guys!

Unfortunately, unlike my company, my family does not pay me to monitor the webcams LOL, so I will be in and out this weekend, but mostly out!

Best,
J:-)

Have a great night Janet!

hello everybody!

the sun is almost down at bonaire, in holland it is dark already for a long time.
Wish you all a pleasant evening!

Bon notchi!

Wietse

sorry, wish you all a pleasant night...yetleg....:-P

Night Wieste!

Looks very serene and soothing...


Night Wieste and Janet!
Hi Dilly!

I always get a kick of seeing what the Bongos cam does to the human form. lol

LOL Kathy...aliens...

night dilly and kathy! sweet dreams! for now or much later...;-)

Dilly, they appear often at Bongos. I think they beam in. lol

Love the children running in this one:

beautiful sunset btw

((sigh))

Y'know what? They're so beautiful and full of color they have to be shrunk if you want to post them big!

i had the same problem, 50,0 kb....
wish it could be bigger, I've got some nice pictures to share. but that can't compare with the feeling bonaire gives to me.

I know Kathy! Maybe with the new camera angle at Bongos, we'll get to see some Friday night BBQ action!

WOW!

Jos, notice I'm not mentioning color (but those above were gold and these are pink, lol)

oww bbq, maybe tomorrow in holland...
24 degrees celcius, hot for the time of year, too cold for me... hope the bbq will keep me warm tomorrow...

they are the same colour for me, kathy. It could be your computerscreen ;-) lol!

Kathy, here is your fire frond!


Wieste, where are you BBQing?

Men, all color blind (or at least shade blind!) Well, not all, but most...including my husband. (Puts on aqua shirt and navy shorts...I cock my eye at his color selection...he knows, he changes. lol)

Actually Dilly, it's Annie B's!

Kathy, you can have them while Annie is on Holiday

in my garden, i live in a monumential farm in holland by my self, at the water(small river). some friends and some beer...and a big jacket....
owww, i miss bonaire and the family of my ex-girlfriend, grandpa, grandma, aunt and many more. and the sweet locals. My roots are from a dutch island, a little bigger than bonaire. both islands give me the same feeling, but bonaire is nicer. wish i could live there.

I say to my husband, "Honey, look at that beautiful shade of lavender in the sky tonight!" He says, "Looks gray to me!" ;)

This IS lavender. lol

eehhh kathy, i saw the difference after i posted my message, sorry.

p.s. i don't make clothingmistakes....;-)

Sounds lovely Weitse. But it sounds like you really miss island life. Are you going to Bonaire soon?

And with a flash of fiery RED, it's done.


Except the party goes on at Bongos.

Kathy, I think you and Wieste have PBD bad! Wieste, what small island are you from? I'm always looking to brush up on my Geography

The light reflections are blue

Hey Dilly, I lived in Puerto Rico as a baby - until I was 4. Don't remember a lot of it, but it looks lovely on the old reel to reels - Christmas Eve on the beach and all. I think I have island in my blood, too. Definitely need to live closer to the sea.

Loved the blue. lol

ain't got the money to come over, find a job and a place to stay. i've got a nice job here, but should i take the step? ain't got no money. that is the main problem for me.

Wieste, that's the main problem for most of us! LOL! But we CAN dream

my roots are from an island Dilly, i stayed there a lot (also eastern europe, czech republic, also family).
the island is called terschelling, it's an island with a rich culture and own language. my grandma is one of the last who speaks the language. it's a mix between dutch, friesch(nothern dutch language) english and the scandinavian languages.

Wietse, is it too late with the ex girlfriend on Bonaire? (forgive me if that's hurtful)

PBD indeed, BIG PBD, and I've been stopped from booking the next vacation waiting for all these hurricanes to pass! (that sounds selfish, but I swear I feel like I've lived them all, tracking them constantly, then especially with Ivan coming to my front door!)

Will check back before bed, maybe that party will go somewhere at Bongos.

Good Evening, (we had play time, feed time and then the put to bed time for Quinn).

Wonderful photos everyone this evening! I have enjoyed reading the posts.

Wish I was here too!

she lives in holland, and we're friends now(hope she will come back). and no, it's not hurtfull, i accept things(no matter what) fast. but she is special, a persionality which cant't compare to somebody else (i think rigt now). and her family became my family (loss of an aunt on curacao when i was there, and i helped with a lot of things then, it was my job in holland then). they became my family and i became theirs, no matter what.
when i was at curacao i was the only white guy in the neighberhood, and it wasn't a good neighberhood. they accepted me, and helped me with some bad guys who were thinking i was rich...
on bonaire everybody says hi to eachother, same mentuality as on terschelling... that's what i like!

Wieste, sounds like a nice place to be from. I think that the people on Bonaire are some of the nicest and friendliest! Have a great weekend!

thanks dilly! have a nice weekend too! (i'm lucky to have a weekend off this time!)
have a nice night!

and you're right, the bonerian people are the nicest people!

greetings,
Wietse

Wieste, I just looked up Terschelling and what a beautiful island!

yes eileen, it's beautiful over there. shame there was a big fire this summer at a national park over there.
Terschelling has got the most beautiful beaches of holland. about 200 meters white beach to the sea.
by the way, my fist name comes from terschelling is spelled the same way they do over there.

by the way, i'm going to sleep. 4 hours sleep remaining before work...
sweet dreams everybody! and for those who are going out, don't drink too much, or i will join....

bye bye and speak you all tomorrow!

wietse

See you tomorrow!!!

I am going off too. Have a great night all!
