Here is a big armored beetle that was found in the yard. He’s big and slow and not dangerous in any way. But it seems that he is on his last legs, so to speak. He isn’t moving around very well.

Yesterday I was hanging out at my usual restaurant after an afternoon body surfing session. 20 feet away there was a wedding about to take place. It was a very small affair, and I noticed that there was no professional photographer present. Well, I couldn’t help myself and I snapped a couple pics for fun!...
I don’t know why. I guess I’ve just never seen a pickup truck full of tomatoes before.
I took a walk from Casa Heidi in Playa La Ropa downtown to La Concha this afternoon with the Nikon d500o & 45mm PC-E body-lens combo. Holiday travelers have descended upon the quiet beaches of two weeks ago. There is not a shortage of vendors trying to sell you stuff. Fortunately no wedding services have...
All I’ve got is another tropical la-la-land photo for you today. So I tweaked it out in Lightroom for some variety.
I was invited to play with a sea kayak yesterday, so I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Zihuatanejo Bay was pretty chopped up in the late afternoon, so I wasn’t about to attempt any photos while on the boat. But I did take a beach break and snapped a photo of the boat and some...
A little oceanfront Christmas action here in Zihuat. I was hoping for a cactus with lights on it but I didn’t find one.
Well, I finally made it out surfing today. I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn’t know it was going to be so painful on the stomach. I’m a softie, need a rash guard. The sunrise was nice! Big holiday dinner party tonight. Merry Christmas!
I told you I had a hankerin’ for some more weirdness! They are not shy about their meat down here. There is no loss of the sense of exactly where that bacon came from. One last shot of the guy working the meat counter. Funny part is I thought to myself, “I should ask him...
A week has gone by and I’ve mostly been spending my days lounging around the beach. As a result, most of the photos so far have been mostly easy scenery shots. I’m starting to get a little bit bored with them. I need some more weirdness. I’ve also been lacking in willing subjects for portraits....
There is a place on Playa La Ropa where a natural river meets the sea. They have the area fenced off, so that the crocs have to stay in the river, and cannot exit to the ocean. There is a restaurant right along the river, where there is no fence. It’s a strange feeling to...
I had my first big night out on the town last night. The action gets started quite late in the evening. Fortunately for those of us used to rarified air, beers at sea level are a hydrating beverage. What do you do when you have to go to a party, but you don’t have a...
I did a whole lot of nothing today. I sat on a chair on the beach and ordered food on the spot and stared off into space. I haven’t really been taking any photos. Next week I’m thinking I’ll motivate. We had a small fiesta at Casa Heidi last night before Heidi leaves for the...
There have been many street performances in the downtown center. Meringue dancers and kids in costumes and clowns, oh my!
Today we went fishing out in the big blue sea in a little blue boat. We didn’t catch anything. Maybe these guys did.
