Mountain Monday, Monochrome and a Side of Monday Red

Oh, the charming views will always delight these eyes.

With the clouds reaching down to touch the earth... Enchanting — at St. Kitts, British Virgin Islands.

This post is for #MountainMonday by @KeithBoone where being late is only a figment of your imagination. I will blend it seamlessly with #MonochromeMonday and #TreeTuesday by @Old-Guy-Photos. Just you wait and see, or can we just play "Let's pretend" for this week? Of course, this shot is all about those glorious mountains that adorn St. Kitts... No matter which way I approach this island, they are there to greet me. (Waves back!)

Another day in Old San Juan, Pureto Rico

Off in the distance, the mountains call out my name. The cobblestone path leads you to a variety of interesting sights on the waterfront. The walls that once protected the city only adds to the romantic walk along the San Juan Bay. A museum of landmarks surrounds the city. Oh, beauty! — in Old San Juan.

Of course, this is dedicated to #MonochromeMonday just so @Old-Guy-Photos know that even in Camelot, it does snow. Once in a while. Not today, but, it did snow once this season. So there you have it. Perfection is corrupted.


A flower. There should always be a flower to color my world. This flower is dedicated to #MondayRed #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. Oh, the tears shed over the world should flood this earth, for sure. For sure.

Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,

"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"

Thanks for tagging along as I barely (read did not make it) made it to Monday's tags. Yikes. Better luck today.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.

Ha! It probably only snowed because you had left and were not there to keep things on the straight and narrow!

I love seeing those pics of all those glorious destinations! Oh yes the salt life is calling me hard!!!

What are you trying to tell me?? That I can no longer leave?? I'd rather come home to ten feet of snow than to have to babysit!

Thank you for your words. The peace, the people, the wonderful Caribbean is super stunning.

I’m cold just looking at that photo of snow! Looks like you been having some fun I'm a sucker for mountain views. Have an amazing day :)

Hehe! Me too! Thank goodness it was only for a short minute or three! I have been having a lot of fun lately and I wish it never had to end.

I am totally a sucker for mountain views. The ones that have the eternal cloud on them are divine! I have never seen them without it.

YOU have a great day and thank you so much for coming to visit! It is always a pleasure!

Wow, look at that beautiful mountain, decorated by clouds... lovely! You sort of freaked me out when you got to the monochrome snowstorm and said it did snow once... for just a second I thought you were saying it snowed in St. Kitts! Yikes! Thank you for the mountain monday post! Voted & resteemed :-)

Hehe... Sorry about that! :)

Every time I come upon that mountain and the island of St. Kitts, it always looks the same. Those clouds never seem to really move, but, perhaps shift a bit. It is a very lovely look to me and I never tire of it. I'm not sure I ever will.

Thank you for hosting #MountainMonday and appreciate the vote and resteem!

Surely these are charming views. I love them. Thanks for sharing this

Thank you so much. There is peace in those mountains. Tranquility at its best!

Have a great day! Keep on Steemin!

Yea. And you too

Thank you.

St Kitts looks like a fascinating place to visit @dswigle Love your interesting photos. How was your cruise? (U & R )

St. Kitts is really beautiful and has a lot of nature, hiking, fishing villages, volcanos and of course, beaches... and so much more.

Always!

The cruise was amazing and you know how wonderful Royal does it, but, it was two weeks cruise and then flew off to Bonaire for a scuba diving trip.

Can I go back on vacation?? I sooo need it! Thanks for asking, my friend.

You certainly do live an action packed life Denise and it's wonderful that you have these opportunities to see such a variety of interesting places. Glad you enjoyed your cruise and I look forward to seeing more photos when you get time to share them.

Thanks very much for the kind tip.

Always a pleasure, my friend. Have a wonderful day!

St. Kitts is a wonderful place and has a fascinating history, as most of the islands do. The cruise was another nice one, I am not sure how one could not enjoy being pampered the way they do.

Can you?

Thank you so much for the upvote and resteem. They are truly appreciated!

Always a pleasure my friend. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying all the benefits of cruising but I do know it is not for everyone which I think has more to do with their fear of the sea or sea sickness.

I've grown up around boats and the sea so its very familiar to me.

I agree. It is usually the fear of water that does them in.

I also grew up living right on the Atlantic Ocean and my dad and brothers always had boats. One of them slept 8, so we spent lots of time out on the waves.

It is a great place to relax and hide away from the world if you wish. ;)

Living in New Zealand, we were never far away from the water and my parents owned launches which was wonderful for summer holidays and John built a pleasure boat with a friend when our sons were young and we spent many hours fishing and ski-ing.

Yes!! Sounds like the sea life is for us! XOXO

Amen sister....pass me the lobster.😊

Anything for you. ;)

amazing beautiful mountains !!!! photo where there is snow I also really like. This is a great contrast to the photos above.

Hi, Tali! @tali72 The mountains are in the Caribbean Islands and the snow is in my front yard! LOL

Actually, it snowed just as I was leaving for the vacation, so I was okay with that. It did melt overnight though. We never get snow for too long. Hope all is well in your world and you are doing well!

!tip
