Our B.V.I. Adventure

Way down on the west end of Smuggler's Cove, there is a tree.  A coral tree.   My mom discovered it on Day 167, as she was taking a walk. Check it out:

Here's a close-up:

Isn't it beautiful - in a strange sort of way?  I wonder who started the coral tree, and how long people have been adding these treasures from the sea to it.  Maybe Miss Mermaid will know.  I'll have to ask her. 

This tree has caused us to take note of other beautiful trees here in the British Virgin Islands.  Here are some of our favorites:


Wouldn't the canopy of this tree be a beautiful place for a wedding?  You could do a wedding in the round.  This poinciana tree is at Long Bay Beach Resort.  They're also known as flamboyants because of the flaming red blossoms.  Here in the BVI, they bloom from May through September.  I just love them!!!

Another favorite of mine is the seagrape tree - they're all over the place in the BVI, especially on the beaches.  They give great shade.  Here is a look inside one, with all of its fruit!
