I love this photo and I’ve been saving it because it has never quite fit in to any challenge..Then it occurred to me that this is the purpose of the odd-ball challenge! I love it because of everything that is going on. The little boy “shooting” his brother with water ammo, the stance of the little girl, the fishing poles of the fishermen repeating the lines of the water guns and the other swimmers and fisherman in the surf. One thing I love about the beach is that there is always something going on––a fact perfectly represented by this photo.

Yesterday, the center of Hurricane Patricia made landfall about 20 miles northwest of La Manzanilla, Jalisco, Mexico, where I usually vacation and for the past four years have spent two months a year. In this picture taken five years ago, the palapa to the right is the ocean-facing porch of my home away from home in La Manzanilla, on the Pacific coast, before Patricia. That is my friend okcforgottenman, blogger extraordinaire, making a “V” for “Very Pale.”
For La Manzanilla during Hurricane Patricia go HERE to see a 4-second video directed at my palapa rental from the back as the winds finally knock the webcam to the ground.
For La Manzanilla after Hurricane Patricia go HERE to see a video made today. It looks like the house I rent is still standing on the street side (at 2:14 into the video), but I haven’t seen it from the ocean side. Thanks, okcforgottenman, for sending it to me.
How can you know I’m not cheating? In black and white, lots of colors pass for grey!!!
See? She’s really grey! Squeak/nee Birdie/nee Annie no longer comes onto the property now that a second and third dog have been added. She is faithful to this wall. Especially at mealtime. I don’t know where she sleeps. Not in her bed in the nice warm cat carrier in the garage anymore. She is semi-wild.
Storms dumped tons of rocks onto the beach in La Manzanilla last year. Made for a lot of gray!
This gray heron is almost invisible against banks of grey stones.
Six inches of sand and dirt completely obscured the paving stones on main street so first timers were mislead into thinking there was no paving at all. Men worked for weeks to shovel out the packed sand and reveal the pavers underneath.
