About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

Couldn’t decide which of these views I like best, so surprise! You got them both.  I like how it shows the palm in all of its stages, both growing and as construction material.

Then post a selection of the photos you find under that number and include a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title.

This honestly is the name of this flower glimpsed along the main street in La Manzanilla.

Anthurium

Love this unusual coloration for an anthurium. Actually, I photographed it in Mexico some months ago but never used it before… and a chance to use my new background removal tool!

La Manzanilla, Feb 1 and 2, 2024

It has been a packed two days since we arrived in La Manzanilla  around 5 PM yesterday. Music at Cocuno Bar and Restaurant on the beach, a rodeo parade, then the next day the tiangus (weekly outdoor market), a ride to Chantli Mar up the coast, back to the Crocodile bar for music and breakfast, a visit to the Manzanilla Gallery where I was able to find the talavera pottery I didn’t find at the tianguis and also so see my own work they were displaying, then an art opening at Gallery 10 and dinner.  I saw dozens of people I hadn’t seen in a year. Tomorrow, more thrills.
