Simply Portland...Utterly Devine

I love the marina photos, Vi, and you can get as sappy and mushy as you like We are just feeling human beings, right? Love it!

awwww thanks Schuttzie, I say with the biggest smile that you are a gem. Pictures of Jamaica have a way of not only reminding us about the moment but also how the moment felt and how it smelled and how it tasted. Okay, I’ll be sappy but definitely avid corny.

Vi, your pics. are to die for!! undisturbed tranquility. I have saved your pics. to use as screen savers hope you don't mind. I showed this to a Jamaican friend at Uni she says she has yet to experience this type of Jamaican beauty. I was puzzled until she told me she is from the inner city of Kingston and never ventured far from it.

Yes, and Elvis is greedy, especially because you told him about your love affair with mangoes

Thank you so much Summer! Help yourself to any of the photos as I am happy to know they bring you pleasure. I have so many that I change the 100 photos on my screen saver once a week. The people in the office love looking at them when they pass by. I understand your friend not venturing out. Some people just don’t have the desire to do so. I’m glad she’s enjoying the pictures.

LOL @ greedy Elvis.

too funny about elvis not sharing . . . not sure about that. sharing is such a basic thing, i'd have re-think on him being a nice guy . . . on the other hand, one time i had a lapse in judgment and shared a very short amount of time with a "companion" who proceeded to get a box of food and ate the whole thing without ever offering me a taste!!!! . . . so, maybe that's just a "jamaican" thing . . . to me, it's a "selfish, self-centred thing" . . .

Jitterbug, I know my descriptions of him conflicts, but up to and after that “mango moment” he was/is a nice guy. Somewhat clueless, yes when it comes to hospitality. I also had a friend buy and eat an entire meal in front of me knowing I hadn’t eaten. Another man was talking to me one time, left to find a seat to sit in, bought it back with him, sat in it to continue the conversation while I was still standing. I guess I’m used to seeing those little selfish acts from some, however after bringing it to their attention, I can look beyond it. I just know to only expect Elvis to provide a no-frills service. lol

Beautiful photos! Love the yellow flowers. Geesh, too bad about the mangoes, and it was your idea! Lol!

Thanks Maryann and shoot yeah it was my idea…but it went right over his head.

Your photos leap from the screen.....sigh

be as mushy as you like, we're here for you and we do understand...........on one reach I sobbed so badly at the airport, the driver called the next day to make sure I was okay.....Beloved can do that to any of us.

No, JB not a "Jamaican" thing Elvis is just plain selfish!

Oh Sammy, I can always count on you to understand where I’m coming from and to tell me to go ahead and let the sap flow. I appreciate you to the max girl. Very caring of that driver to check on you like that.
