This time of year I can’t help but think of the Caribbean and a vacation. Part of it is that it’s January and snowy outside. I may also be influenced by my assortment of desktop background photos from the Webshots “Beaches” collection that I stare at for eight hours daily.

Right now it’s a lovely white-sand beach with bright blue water splashing over stones on the shore. It’s obviously warm and comfy there. I can practically feel the sun on my bare shoulders.

The picture just changed, and how it’s an empty hammock strung between two palm trees overlooking the ocean. It’s dusk, and looks so peaceful.

This picture isn’t from Webshots, but–ahhh…don’t you just want to be there, right now?

I sure do.
