Hibiscus

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

We had a down pour and then the sun came out and I took photos of these beautiful Hibiscus with rain drops on them!  I love Hibiscus, they are so elegant.

Sea Snail

Lihue, Hawaii

They grow things big in Hawaii, look at this Sea Snail.  Sea Snail is a common name for snails that normally live in saltwater, they are marine gastropods with shells.  Some of these are edible, oh yummy!  I am so glad I didn’t accidentally step on it!

As always, Hawaii didn’t disappoint, as the sunset over Lihue!

Emergency Room

Kauai, Hawaii

I didn’t expect to spend my first night in Kauai, in the Emergency Room of the hospital! That’s what happens when you fall on a treadmill and get thrown into an elliptical! OUCH! This happened just hours before we left for Hawaii! Made it though, but by the evening there was lots of pain, so I got checked out!. Nothing too serious, a broken rib which will heal in time.  What a place to recuperate in!  LOVING HAWAII!

Hawaii Here We Come

Salt Lake City, Utah

I could hardly sleep the night before, because I was so excited to go on this trip to Hawaii!  We are going to Kauai, Maui and Ohau. I LOVE HAWAII!

Seagull

Xcaret, Mexico

Generally, when you get close to the ocean you see Seagulls.  (Except in Hawaii, no Seagulls there.)  I enjoy watching them, they are pretty birds, energetic and fun.

Sitting on a Flower

Riviera Maya, Mexico

As we walked around we saw lots and lots of butterflies flying or sitting on a flower. They were so gorgeous! 

River

We went on a boat along this river, it was so calming and relaxing, the perfect place for me to put my feet up and truly RELAX!

Hibiscus

Salt Lake City, Utah

I love Hibiscus and because of our weather you don’t see them here very often, particularly not large ones, these were gorgeous and big!

Hibiscus

Poipu, Kauai, Hawai’i

When I am out taking photos, many times, I carry with me a small spray bottle so when I want to give a fresh, new effect, I can spray water on a flower.  This water livens up the flower and adds so much!  Of course, natures way with rain drops  works the same and is better.  It had rained thru the night, as you can see by the rain drops on this hibiscus.

Iguana

IMG_1778a

Riviera Maya, Mexico

There were two Iguana’s near us, or I should say, we saw two Iguana’s near us, who knows how many more were in the bushes.  There are a lot of them in this part of the world!  Surprisingly, they say that Iguana’s are very intelligent, considering the size of their brains. Iguanas can be toilet trained, learn tricks, and even find their way home when lost.

Voladores De Papantla

Xcaret, Mexico

These men were amazing to watch. They are just holding on with their hands, as they spin around and they got going pretty fast. The man on the left is playing a flute and the little drum. It was an interesting musical sound.

Locked Out

IMG_6474a

Cancun, Mexico

After going for my morning walk on the beach, I came back to our room, but I was locked out, for some reason my key wouldn’t work.  Craig was at breakfast, so I decided to just sit down, put my feet up and RELAX!

Sea Turtle Eggs

IMG_1734aCancun, Mexico

As I was out walking along the beach I saw a man digging in the sand. He was finding Sea Turtle Eggs and collecting them. They are then put into a protected area where they grow and develop for two months. Once they hatch they are taken out of the sand and at night they are put into the Caribbean Sea. Thousands of Sea Turtles have been saved by doing this, otherwise, the little Turtles are eaten by Seagulls before they make it to the sea. It is pretty awesome!!

Eclipse Reflection

Cancun, Mexico

So, I put my phone up and just started snapping photos of the eclipse and somehow got a reflection in the lower right corner, so cool!

Hotel Zone

IMG_1721aCancun, Mexico

When you are on the beach along the Hotel Zone, there are hotels in either direction, lots of hotels.  It is a beautiful area, I LOVE my early morning walks!

Orange Iguana

Riviera Maya, Mexico

WOW, this was a huge iguana sitting not far from us, just basking in the sun.  For iguana’s, I think he is pretty!

Camera used:  Canon 50D

Ocean Fun

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

I love looking at the fun people have in the ocean, nut more than that I love having fun in the ocean myself!

Camera used: Canon 50D

Looking Out To Sea

Tulum, Mexico

It was raining hard when we got to Tulum, even so it was gorgeous! Tulum is a Mayan village that sits right on the coastline. From here we looked out to sea.

The Caribbean Sea

Tulum, Mexico

I was so moved by Tulum, I felt a special spirit there and this was the perfect place to put my feet up and RELAX as I looked out at the Caribbean Sea.  A very beautiful spot!
