As a little gift to myself on this rainy Christmas Eve, I’m going through the last of my Anguilla photos from our trip earlier this month.
Happy holidays everyone!!

This one was sort of an accident, with the camera under water, but I love the colors |

From the pool… the beach was underwater that day due to groundswells! |

I love those photos — the "accidental" one just may be my favorite. I'm not familiar with GoPro. Would love to know if you use it above water, too. I'm in the need of buying a new camera before my trip to Ireland and am weighing my options…
Hi Emily! GoPro is probably not the best "regular use" camera – it's really small, with no display. Mostly designed for things like snowboarders to put on their helmets and other action stuff. We have it in a waterproof case so D can take it underwater for scuba and we can use it snorkeling. Ireland – sounds like an amazing trip!! Can't wait to hear about it.
Thanks for the tip, Jen. I reckon I'll go with a more traditional style digital camera, then. I wish I could afford a nice DSLR for the money I'm prepared to spend, but something will have to give.
