We will always remember our travels to St. Thomas and St. John. Hard to imagine the devastation there now. Your images brought back good memories. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes to the beautiful people there.

I have visited there when I lived in San Juan. Snorkeled in Trunk Bay, watched a Cricket Match, etc. A beautiful place.

Beautiful shots Bumtree. The Islands have been taking a brutal beating this year. I have never been, but I would love to go. I especially like the last shot with the floral shootby.

Beautiful set - it is going to be a while before they can bounce back. It sounds like they will have to rebuild from the ground up - tough to do when you live on an island!

We've only visited St. John a day at a time, but have vacationed in St. Thomas yearly for 12-14 years. We've been getting pictures of our resort on St. Thomas and can hardly imagine how impacted those living there are. Such a shame that such a beautiful place has sustained so much damage from Irma and Maria!
