Seascapes

 

Oh no.  After a month at the beach, how to choose?  Eenie, meenie, mynie mo—

I can never get enough of this view of the La Manzanilla beach. And, it is always different.

This time at the beach, I've spent hundreds of hours watching pelicans, usually in the water myself. Even out of the water, it is hard to capture them because they move so swiftly, but with such grace. They are so much a part of the seascape that I think this shot belongs in this series.

My camera (or my skills) can never capture the real colors of the sunsets here. The reddest sun beomes white when photographed and I can only approach the real colors of the sky through a bit of color editing. Anyone who has been to La Manzanilla at any time of the year can say these outstanding sunsets are real and continuous.

One of the aforementioned suns. In reality, it was brilliant red, but it came out as white in the photo. Does anyone know why?

Long Roads, Short Lives

The Prompt: This week its all about roads, paved or unpaved.

First of all, here’s a little background music for you to view these pictures by.  You’re in for a treat if you do listen to Norah Jones singing her rendition of Long Way Home.

My water-themed pictures were taken at la Manzanilla beach, the Amazon River in Peru, Candelabra Island in Peru and my own pool/terrace overlooking Lake Chapala in Mexico.  Obviously, I couldn’t choose and actually could have posted hundreds more.  Water seems to be my “thing.”
