By the Bay

Over the weekend we took a nice little two day trip to the Texas coast with Matt's parents... it was a perfect little getaway, and of course I snapped a few photos while we were there.  

I am busy getting work done before an out of town friend arrives this week, so I'll keep this short and sweet today. I have missed blogging lately. Oftentimes while driving in the car or soaking in the bath or working on other things, the urge to write and be creative will hit me, but what's lacking now is the time or perhaps just the desire to make the time. I'm happy to have this space still here for me, though, like an old friend available for a chat over coffee whenever life permits.

Hope you're all having an excellent week...





The last from Mexico

This will be the last post on our trip, so after today we're back to our regularly scheduled (boring) programming. :) 

Mexico already feels so far away now... hard to believe we were just there less than a week ago. Today I'm sharing photos from our second to last day, when I had the pleasure of accompanying the group on their tour of a magnificent seaside ranch. We admired the flora and fauna (lots and lots of cactuses!), rode camels on the beach, and were provided the most authentic and delicious Mexican meal I've ever eaten. 


 This cactus is 300 years old!


Thank you for your hospitality, Mexico, and for being so breathtakingly beautiful...

More from Mexico

One of my jobs in Mexico was to go on a couple outings with the group I was working for, and basically just do what I always do anyway (snap a zillion pictures), except this time I was "working" and therefore had full acceptance and permission to be the freak with the camera adhered to her face. It was fantastic.

On this particular outing we went three places: 1) to a blown glass factory, 2) to a delicious lunch, and 3) on a glass bottom boat tour to the Arch of Los Cabos, which was truly a breath-taking ride. Then I even got to walk around a bit and bought a beautiful Mexican blanket that I tried to barter for but failed miserably since I made the rookie mistake of showing my extreme interest in the blanket before offering up a price. Stupid move, Jenni, stupid move. Here's a few photos for your purusing pleasure...



This was the BEST sorbet I have ever had in my life! From left to right: lemon mint, orange, and blueberry. So refreshing and unbelievably yummy!




Now, for our boat tour to the Arch...


The Arch of Los Cabos is at the very tip of the Baha California peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean join. The joining of these two oceans causes strong undercurrents and large waves, and the closer we got to the Arch, the more the boat rocked and the larger the waves became. I already have a little bit of a "thing" about waves (I am petrified of them), so while I was trying to be a good photographer and take ample photos, the sea sickness and general wave-terror was starting to get to me, and I was absolutely feeling pretty green. But I'm happy to say I didn't up-chuck, not even once.


Look closely at this next photo - those are sea lions sun bathing! :)


An old resurrected pirate ship...


And a few from around town...

Mexico Parte Uno


It won't feel much like fall over here on SOML this week, so if you're already tired of talking about pumpkin spice lattes and visits to the apple orchard, I might have just the reprieve you need. 

It was strange to leave our meager Texas fall behind last week and head to a hot desert climate like Mexico... strange, but in a good way. As you may already know, I was invited to photograph several events within a corporate trip to Los Cabos, and I mean, come on now. Pretty sweet. Matthew tagged along and we made a fun little getaway trip out of it. And can I just say I really love photographing events? It's so interesting to experience the entirety of an event as the fly on the wall, flitting about within groups of people... catching snippets of conversation... being there, but not really there. I really love it. I don't see wedding photography in my future because that's just not my thing (zero passion there!), but I have so enjoyed capturing birthday parties, showers, and this recent foray into corporate photography. Send me to an exotic locale and I'll take pictures of damn near whatever you want! ;)

Can I also say it was pretty freaking cool to turn the tables for once and be the one sending us on a cool trip? We've been to some awesome places thanks to Matthew's old job (South America, most recently, my favorite part of which was experiencing Machu Picchu!), but this one was all me, and it just feels nice when hard work pays off in unexpected ways. 

Happy Monday, my friends...

PS - We stayed at the Fiesta Americana Grand... great resort!
