Reflections on Photography.....

Hi all!

Another wonderful week!

I have been in a reflective mode this week....these two photos were taken in Tobago this past summer in a small fishing village on Castara Bay. I stayed in the village the entire time and spent big parts of my day walking the beach.

The boats they use to fish are very primitive with nets and oars. They are so rustic that they are beautiful. "Survival" and "Blessed" were hand painted on the sides of two boats in particular. They caught my eye. They summed up life for me while walking the beach. Life is all about Survival-- but how much do we really need in order to Survive vs. how much we think we need? Surviving in Lakeway, Texas is a whole different thing than surviving in a small fishing village. I am sure that the boat with Blessed on it is how the fisherman feels every time he is able to get up in the morning and go out on the bay and throw his nets out in order to survive.

Surviving in Lakeway, Texas is being able to afford the price at the gas station and feeling Blessed is not choking to death when you pay~~~~

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Lots of love to you all,

What a Catch!

Hi Everyone! These are two of the five fish I caught one evening in Castara Bay inTobego. We threw the fishing line out and held it with our bare hands until there was a nibble and then pulled them in by yanking the line hand over hand...of course as Murphy would have it my line would end up in a tangled mess on the bottom of the boat after each catch.(you should see me fly a kite and use a garden hose...same kind of tangling goes on) It was a blast though ! I was out on a sunset boat tripto take pictures and never did take any of the sunset. I was too involved in fishing.The previous day, in the same waters, I literally held a stingray(yes,it was right after Steve Irwin's untimely death)...there was a family of three in the water that swam with us. What a thrill! They wouldswim under you and you could see their eyes looking at you and stroke their backs. Snorkeling was wonderful too...I found an electric eel...no I did not hold it!Have a wonderful week everyone! Love, Lori Ann Scott lascottphotography.com
