31 December 2013

happy new year friends – i know this hasn’t been a very good blogging one… 2013 has given us a lot of happiness, challenges and fun adventures. we can’t wait for the year to come, sharing our life in provo with our baby girl and hopefully having lots of family and friends visiting us too!

here’s a little update of my bump from our last days in provo. i have only one month to go – still can’t believe how fast my pregnancy has gone! i am so excited to share these last weeks with my family and portuguese friends, and hope james makes it on time for the delivery in the end of january :)

I am starting to really enjoy taking pics with my new wide and macro lens along with the new compact INON flash. I am still playing with the set ups as there are so many variations!

This past sunday, we went to Northwest point where I love to dive as the walls there by Amanyara Resort are just incredibly amazing to look at.

Our first dive was at the Amphitheater and we took the right wall. I went down deep and turned on the HD video to show you the beautiful landscape.

Then there are the sea life including a very cool star fish stuck on a blueish/violet fan. Well, enjoy.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-7 yesterday james was eager to take a few pictures with his new dome lens (it allows taking pictures with the lens half under water and over water) so we made a quick stop at the bight.

when we got there the beach was beautiful, with the sailing boats on the background.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-6 the sun was really hot, and bright, reflecting on the white sand, i could almost not see the screen on the my camera!

we were talking about how lucky we are in turks and caicos, that we get 1 spare hour and we can actually make a pit stop at the beach, go for a quick dive and relax for a while in between plans.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-4 although we have warm weather all year round, we actually start feeling more summery – definitely hotter, the sea water is warmer and some say more humid too.
