Underwater Photography Woes

It’s no secret I love doing photography. Talk about a big duh, right? Doing photography underwater is a bit more of a challenge, though. Yeah, you have that whole breathing underwater thing, but that’s really relatively easy.  Buoyancy can make it a challenge sometimes, too.  And those damn fish tend to not want to sit …

A special, spontaneous Thanksgiving

A few years ago, shortly after Tigger’s adoption became final, Thanksgiving was upon us.  Usually we had a house full of friends, but that year people had other plans, needed to spend time with their own families, etc.,and so we ended up just having a very small dinner at home with one of my coworkers. …

Monday photo: Cozumel’s east side

While Cozumel, Mexico, is an island, the more inhabited side does not have as much of an easy access to the beach. The western side is fringed with reef which means little to no waves, and popular swimming areas are also full of all sizes of rocks. The southern beach areas are filled with resorts …

Monday photo–Chichen Itza

Just over a year ago we visited the famous Chichen Itza ruins outside of Valladolid, Mexico.  The constructions are really quite amazing when you consider the lack of technology compared to today.  I’ll be writing more about our visit there, along with tips you won’t want to miss if you’re planning on going there, but …

Monday photo: Metro in DC

I fell in love with riding the metro while in Paris several years ago.  While visiting a friend in Virginia, I had the opportunity to go to Washington, DC, and we rode the metro while touring America’s capitol.  I loved the energy and vibe as well as the performers.  I was a bit nervous taking …

Monday photo: Alaska

Chugach State Park

I’ve had a longtime love affair with Alaska even though I had never been there before a few years ago.  Every so often I get in an Alaska frame of mind and have to go through pictures from my last visit.  It is one of the few places I’ve visited where I felt like I …

A slice of paradise on Ecuador’s coast

We came to this area for Tigger to take some surfing lessons.  We “discovered” this little beach town (Olón) while staying at a nearby resort and immediately fell in love with it and moved there after our stay at the resort was done.  Tigger and I both agreed this town has made it onto our list …

A little taste of Cuenca life

We live very close to one of the four rivers that run through Cuenca.  Every time we walk by we see many locals washing their clothes in the river and then drying them by laying their laundry on the nearby grass.  On weekends the whole family will be involved, and it’s a several-hour process.
