Good morning sleepy heads. Sunrise as the moon sets.

Couldn't wait any longer. Coffee is brewing.

Morning Smack, and everyone to follow!
I wanted to sleep late by hubby was too noisy. wah


Another of that full moon

Good morning Smack. Here's a few sort of early risers ... .

As for me, I'm going back to bed for bit. Why ... because I can!!!!

Sorry Kathy ... g'd morning to you too. I have a comfy bed in the guest room if you want to pop over and get some quiet sleep :-)

Morning Cindy.
I may go back to bed, too.

Morning Kathy, Cindy. The moon sure was neat to watch.

Someone needs to go diving! That weather looks too good to pass up.

I like this one.

Maybe everyone's already gone diving, Smack. I was looking back at when we were there, and yep, by this time we were in the water or already out for the first dive of the day.

Nothing better in the world to wake a person up! I know you agree - I saw you EARLY mornings, too. lol A dive before breakfast, what a way to start a day.

Absolutely, Kathy! The best way to start the day. A cup of Tom's coffee and a dip...priceless!

Haven't seen a diver yet. Man, that's just not right!

A *lot* of the folks there were late risers. They're mostly Dutch, so they're probably jetlagged (Bonaire is GMT-4, Nederlands are GMT+1). I rarely saw anyone up before 10am, and only heard a couple of groups speaking English the whole 2 weeks there..
I kept waking up at 4 to 5am (long before sunrise) since Phoenix is GMT-7. I was rarin' to go by 7am, but nobody else was.

Stan, you and I would get along just fine with a schedule like that

Good morning all.

Have a cup of Starbucks coffee. We have Verona today.

I just wish I was there to go diving.

Weird thing, Bon in summer is one hour ahead of us. But we'd be up at 5:30 their time, which is 4:30 our time. lol Just excited to start the day I guess, didn't want to waste a minute of daylight in paradise.

Well, this person is doing a two in one. Sleep ON the beach. I'm envious.

Was too big to post whole, and you can't see them small!

Good morning, John. I hear that! I need a dive real soon before I go nuts. Problem is it takes alot of imagination to make a dry suit feel like a 3mm shorty.

Hi everyone. Can't make out what this guy is holding up, or if he's just trying to hide his face. Annie B.

Morning, Annie! Looks like a cell phone to me. Time for some pancakes, bacon, and maybe an egg to round it off.

This guy's got it all wrong. That should be a bc/tank and reg and it needs to be slung on his back! Oh, PBD sucks.

Forgot pic. Here.

Good morning folks...looks like a lot of you are up early on a Saturday! Yep, a dive right now would be fantastic...just what I need to relieve the ongoing stress of taking care of my parents and all of their affairs...
the visitors are starting to move about

And these guys...where's the gear? It's getting bad here. Maybe I'll go fill the tub.

Hey Babs! Great minds think alike!

Ha, they sat down again John...what ARE they thinking...all that warm water and no dive gear!

brief visit from Sarge

Time for a turkey sandwich.

Perhaps we will see these divers soon

Back from my errands ...

Hi Cindy...I'm off to run errands

Ummm...don't fall out! lol

And a fish

Quite the tan! She must be into her second week ... maybe ...

Yep, brown as a...um, coconut. lol

UB funny Kathy!

Check this out! Looks like a shower head aimed over the beach ...

Hey guy!

That's what I was looking at, Cindy....is it the moon, ya think?

And the crowd gathers ...

They remind me of astronauts, walking on the moon....aquanauts! I never stand u/w, strange!

I dunno Kathy. Pretty weird.

Time for me to go outside and wash the summer car before I tuck her in for the winter hibernation. Ah. Sad. Later.

Bye Cindy! I'm gonna catch these guys and get busy again, myself.

Sarge said he's a diver, too.

That's what happens when you stay in one position too long.

Hello everyone. Have been Christmas shopping all day and haven't even scratched the surface.
Thanks for all the great captures.
Margarita

Hello to Everyone!

Been really busy last two days! Got 12 cinn. breads done and all tucked away in freezer. Also, I am have my Thanksgiving dinner today, so turkey is in the oven, be ready in an hour or so, used the bag method, can't wait to try it out. Made stuffing, twice baked cheddar bacon baked potatoes, etc. and a homemade pumpkin pie. Whew! I'm tired out from being in the kitchen for two days, but I'm sure we will have lots of leftovers!

Nothing on the cams right now, so will peek in after dinner! Debbie

Divers

Reflection of the sinking sun

Hi Margarita! Y'know, coming back for a minute, I see now that what Cindy and I saw crossing the sky was the sun....strange that the whole "circle" did not show up.

Sunburst

More setting sun

Almost dissolved

Turning tangerine

Beautiful sunsets make me feel romantic too

I feel like I'm watching a movie of the couple on the beach. sigh...

Shades of gold and orange

Is this a glider or am I imagining things

sailboat on the horizon and romance is blossoming

Wow, washed in gold...

And this girl's gonna find herself in a flicky if she doesn't watch out. lol

Gentle colors

Kathy, very little animation needed for the flicky

Looks like pointillism

Going, going, ...

Colors deepening

Sweet dreams everyone.

Nice sunset tonight, Margarita. See ya tomorrow! It's only 4:46 here, so I won't say sweet dreams yet.

Thanks for the beautiful sunset tonight, Kathy and Margarita. I had a wonderful dinner. Turkey came out great in the bag. Very juicy and brown on the outside!

I believe that is one of the best sunsets I've seen in a long time, I'm really glad you girls caught it for the rest of us BT'rs who couldn't make it.

My kids are decorating the Christmas tree right now listening to Christmas music. I could almost cry, my daughter, Tiffany, will be going to college in a year. I will miss the "little" girl I see right now as she decorates the tree with her boyfriend and girlfriend. I do still have my little man, Brandon who is 10 for awhile, but I am just getting sentimental right now.

Have a great evening to everyone who passes.

Debbie, as an empty nester myself, your post made ME sentimental. Glad your turkey turned out good. And it was a nice sunset, the light just held on...

Have a great evening yourself!

Wow, the "moon-set" picture was very cool, Kathy!

Stan brought all kinds of pics from his trip there for us to see at Thanksgiving. Let me tell you, they are great! Hopefully he'll finish cleaning up the colors etc. on them and get some of the best ones posted here before too long.

Read how everyone loved doing the "turkey in a bag" thing. I've used them for years now and just love the way it comes out so moist _and_ cuts the cooking time! My 18 pounder went in at 8:30am and was done 3 hours later. Beats getting up at 6:00am to have it done by 1:00pm, not to mention not heating up the kitchen so much(she says in a menopausal moment...lol)! The bag works great for chicken and dumplings too;o)

Happy weekend all, one more day to enjoy!

Nice sunsets gals, and thanks for the reminder Kathy. LOL. Annie B.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Looks like it got busy on the cams today...nice flicky Annie
And here is an eerie red glow on the sand...

See you all tomorrow!

It's possible that the guy in the 15:48 pic with the video is Dr. Doo... it looks like the top of his head... lol..

It could be....in today's thread (14:24 and 14:26) the yellow camera is securely clipped....
the split fins seem to be the same....
Dr. Doo, is that you?
