Finally, the gorgeous turquoise waters of Big Spring and Little Spring, which together bubble out of the rocks to join to the Current River.
Due to extrememly high water levels, the banks were verdant
The beauty of the surrounds, coupled with the vivid turquoise of the water is spellbinding.
Boats were nestled in among the water hyacinth.
Those trees out in the water were on dry land a few months ago.
dealing with a few pushy seagulls, but totally leaving alone another black blob a bit down the way on the sand near the water. Was it??
He told me to sit very still and showed me how to adjust my balance a bit when the water got choppy.
The water ran swift and free,

There were so many wonderful phases of this rapidly changing sunset, that I couldn’t cull out any more than I have.  I am perhaps excessive, but this sunset certainly was as well, so I feel I’m justified.  If you click on the first photo, it will enlarge them all.

 

This is Chapala

In case you are curious about why I would choose to live in Mexico, given its present bad press, here is a video about the place where I live that might explain why.

Everyone keeps asking if the earthquake and hurricane had any effect on our weather here.  I can’t notice that it has, other than a week of rain during earlier hurricanes and tropical storms last week, but this sunset two nights ago is perhaps the result, somehow, of bad weather farther away. I have not augmented the colors. They were really this brilliant!!! These photos were taken over a 15 to 20 minute time period from my deck.

Lake Walk with Frida: Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge, 2016, Week 40

8 Replies

Last week I showed you Little Duck’s Adventure.  This week I want to show you Frida’s. I’ve decided try try to take one of the dogs for a walk every day. Frida got the first turn and did great. After a scare last week when we thought we were going to have to put her down, the miracles of modern medicine saved the day, and she’s like a young dog again. The day after the big rains, we went down to inspect the lake along the malecon. (Click on photos to enlarge and read captions.)

Although the curled under tail indicates otherwise, Frida was in a good mood and was perfectly behaved and energetic.
I counted eight waterfalls in the mountains above the town. I live up on that mountain!
A closeup of the largest seasonal falls.
Senor Garcia is the name of this dormant volcanic mountain.
Those trees out in the water were on dry land a few months ago.
As were these.
These water hyacinths give testimony to the fact that they are opening the spillways on the Lerma River to let more water into Lake Chapala.
The playground equipment acquired a water hazard.
But these little girls didn’t let it stop them.
Boats were nestled in among the water hyacinth.
We walked past the fisherman’s flotilla on our way back to the car.
Past the Mayan calendar mural mouldering away on the wall near our car.
And finally, our own car.
