I felt like Snow White. Every. single. day. was so open to possibilities during my escape to Antigua.
Well… it was like being Snow White if the forest was replaced with a beautiful city with cobblestone streets and volcanoes in the distance. I walked to the market, got lost in its endless pathways, and emerged with a bundle of fresh flowers and fruits.
It wasn’t until I wandered home that I realized this little stowaway had come with me. He lived on, and ate, all my flowers but it was nice to have him around.
P.S. I sat down to write this post and went crazy. I was WAY over the 100 mark, and I realized this, but I just couldn’t stop writing. When I finally checked the word count I was at 500 and I hadn’t even mentioned the photo yet! So the result got its own blog post and you can read it here if you want to. Here’s a teaser:
“I can’t mow the lawn,” screamed 16-year-old me, “do you know how many bugs I will kill?!”
I was serious, I mean, it wasn’t just an attempt to avoid a new chore, I really never killed bugs. That is… until this week… Read the rest of my story

WOW what an AMAZING photo. U r inspiring me to visit nature more (hike some trails) so see the never ending beauty around us .. spotted when we stay still, listen, watch. I am fasinated by bugs as well. The outdoor ones, not to much the indoor (spider) ones, wink!
Thanks Ada! I’m terrified of spiders myself, but that doesn’t stop me from photographing them up close & personal. I won’t lie though, every time they move I jump back 3 feet like it’s a cobra striking me lol. I need to get out more myself, I don’t think many people get enough time to enjoy the outdoors anymore =(
