A tall-masted sailing ship anchored in the harbor at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, framed by lush green palm fronds and tropical trees, with calm water and a soft blue sky in the background.

A fresh leaf after the rain at Estate Lindholm. I loved how the droplets clung to that glossy surface.

If simple moments like this resonate, I’d love to share more.

Sunset over the harbor in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. The sun dips behind dark hills, sending a golden reflection across the calm water. A sailboat and catamaran are silhouetted in the foreground beneath a towering cloud glowing with light.

A green sea turtle surrounded by reef fish at Maho Bay, St. John. The colors were tough to recover, but worth it to capture that calm motion underwater.

A green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) swims above a sandy patch at Maho Bay, St. John, surrounded by dozens of small reef fish. Soft light filters through the surface, revealing shades of green, gold, and blue in the water.

A cluster of bright red Ixora coccinea flowers (commonly called jungle geranium or flame of the woods) blooms among glossy green leaves in a garden in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI. The spherical inflorescence stands out vividly against the shaded foliage.

At Fort Christian in Charlotte Amalie, a yellow trumpetbush blooms from the old red walls—nature reclaiming what time once took. A quiet balance of age and renewal.
