And, We're Back!

Wowsa, talk about a hiatus! But clearly my 10-day absence has inspired some worthy conversation about the stunning image I posted on July 14. Writes RumShopRyan, a Caribbean rum-lover who runs the über-tropical website RumShopRyan.com, "A beautiful photo indeed. Some of the best shots I've seen do include dark storm clouds off in the distance while the sun is still shining in the foreground. Islands are beautiful, period." Agreed! Looking forward to sipping some Gosling's Old Rum with you one day soon buddy. A few days later Marc Morgan of RumandRelaxation.com wrote, "That photograph is gorgeous and truly evocative. I agree with you, even though there is no shortage of beautiful shots available in the Caribbean, that one is a gem among gems!" Here, here! No doubt the photographer himself would be glad to know that he's touched so many Bermuda Shorts readers. Replies the one and only Terence Luk, amateur photog extraordinaire: "Thanks for the mention. I live in Pembroke [Parish] but have yet to explore Southampton and Dockyard with my camera so stayed tuned for more photos." Fantastic! I can't wait to see your latest images (speaking of images, that's one I took while picnicking on the southwest shore). In the meantime, you can expect your daily dose of Bermuda Shorts right here since there's presently lots happening on the island—most notably Cup Match, a four-day weekend that revolves around a heated cricket match between teams from St. George and Somerset. It all kicks off tomorrow, so stay tuned for the latest tropical news and island updates.

Back In Business

Wowsa. See what happens when you go away for a little while? Sun tans fade, families miss you and worst of all, blogs get neglected. But at least you were warned. The good news is I'm back. Finally. And looking forward to again keeping you updated on the best, weirdiest and newsiest stories coming from my very own twenty-one-square mile archipelago. Ya know, like how funnyman Stephen Colbert finished second in the Charleston-Bermuda sailing race, winning a swanky suite at The Reefs (sorry I missed ya Steve-a-roo); or how a local eight-year-old girl is selling her book, "A Different Kind of Bermuda," at Wednesday Harbor Night celebrations (you go girl!); or my current favorite, how a short film about Bermuda's own Johnny Barnes—a documentary called Mr. Happy Man—played at Mountainfilm in Telluride, a film festival yours truly hosted for Outside Television recently (the real reason why the blog was so silent!). See, I told you I was up to some good stuff. Anyhow, that's all for today, but be sure to tune in tomorrow your daily does of tropical news and island updates.
