Sunset Sunday-The View of the River in San Blas, Mexico

Sunset Sunday-The View of the River in San Blas, Mexico

When I first arrived in San Blas, Nayarit on my road trip from Mazatlan the sun was setting. Luckily, I just pulled into town before dark. At the time, I still had no reservations for a hotel, but before I started inquiring about rooms I stopped along the river and took a sunset image. As […]

Ah Chihuahua-Walking Across the Copper Canyon

Ah Chihuahua-Walking Across the Copper Canyon

A new adventure park in Chihuahua, the Copper Canyon Adventure Park, set up high speed zip-lines and suspension bridges to allow thrill seekers to cross the Copper Canyon. Sure, for some, the beauty of this Mexican treasure is best appreciated from the train through the Copper Canyon region or perhaps with a cocktail during sunset […]

The Beach at The Moorings in Islamorada, FL

The Beach at The Moorings in Islamorada, FL

Visitors don’t (or shouldn’t) come to the Keys for solely a beach holiday. That said, they are a few gems. One of those is the beach at the Moorings in Islamorada. The Moorings, or Moorings Village and Spa is a high end luxury property.  Visitors essentially stay in beach front houses not hotel rooms. And […]

Parasailing in the Upper Florida Keys

Parasailing in the Upper Florida Keys

I consider the Florida Keys an American paradise. Yes, I do. And there are multiple ways to appreciate its beauty.  One of my favorite ways is from the sky.  Yes, take to the sky in a parasail and view majesty of the water and the islands (or keys) from above. Key Largo Hilton and Caribbean […]

A Beach with History, the Petroglyphs of Las Labradas

A Beach with History, the Petroglyphs of Las Labradas

Las Labradas translates to “the carvings.” And the beach just north of Mazatlan is filled with carvings on its coastal rocks. Travelers don’t come here to swim or soak in the sun, but rather to take a look at the numerous and mysterious petroglyphs. Known to locals for hundreds of years, the engraved rocks have […]

Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset

Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset

Sunday’s spectacular Carnaval Parade in Mazatlán even provided the 400,000 who lined the malecón with a vibrant half time show – the sunset. All week during Mazatlán Carnaval the sunset impressed, and as much as I wanted to capture the themed floats along the malecón in the best (my favorite) hour of light it wasn’t in […]

Getting Photographed in my Kilt on the beach, Isle of Arran, Scotland

Getting Photographed in my Kilt on the beach, Isle of Arran, Scotland

I never thought I’d be involved with the beach photos, but when I dressed up in a traditional Scottish Kilt at a wedding on the Isle of Arran, I was automatically put into the van. It is a tradition in Scotland. All men brave enough to wear a kilt at a wedding get photographed. I […]
