Nope, I haven't entered because they have restrictions on size of photos = more work for me to make 'em all smaller And they would like people in their photos. People? Me? (snjort) not too many of those type of photos for me. ... now if they said turtles, now we're talkin!

Might look into it though.....

Thanks folks...I took SOOOOOO MANY PICTURES and I still get a kick out of looking at them! ALL of them...

Spent the best time today with my three-year-old nephew going through your photos. He loved the fish and turtle photos -- although, to be honest, he wasn't into the beach or other building/vaca shots. He's only 3 so I think we should cut him some slack. I will make sure he "sees the light" when he gets older.

Gato, I am a consummate PHOTOSHOP FAILURE. I'm pretty software saavy, but PS doesn't like me, and I even took a course in it. I don't have it. I haven't got a fricking clue how to use it! Makes me mental!!!!

My photos have been through picasa and in the case of the framed ones, I threw them into picnik. I did saturate the colour in some of them, but then again, as the photographer, I reserve the right to 'creative licence' with my own pics!

Oh well.........this cruise ship was leaving Coz... I think it's the Disney Magic...



From Papa Hogs pier, where the sail boats were supposed to pic us up...





Just to clear things up (for info purposes), the 1st picture is CARNIVAL and the 2nd picture, both ships are ROYAL CARIBBEAN.


Excellent report and love all you photos.

Thanks MF. I knew that the last two were Royal Caribbean - been on one before. Also been on Carnival, but that first one had MAGIC written on the back, so unless of course Carnival has a "Magic" boat......

How cool is that pic of the eagle ray? Just amazing.

Jan, I don't know how you do it, going to the dog rescue place. I'd have to take a roll of duct tape for my broken heart and at least two boxes of Kleenex. I've sent money, but I just can't face the eyes of those darling dogs when I'd have to say good-bye. Kudos


I'm just seeing this response now, and my apologies for not addessing this sooner.

I go - because they're important to me. They (Ricardo and Lisa specifically) mean the world to me for what they do, but more importantly, they mean the world to the dogs they rescue. I donate to them very very regularly, and have since before the sanctuary was started. I LOVE to see those dogs. If you could see the 'joy' on their faces...when Ricardo is walking amongst them, you'd know you were in the prescence of a true 'pack leader'.

Ricardo is very very humble, and he LOVES those dogs.

I have 3 dogs myself, and help to bring his dogs up to Toronto to fosters and hopefully forever homes. I will always be available to lend a hand to him if I can...and for these reasons....I go!

Wow Jan! I am just seeing these for the 1st time. To think that I had YOU trying to help me with my pictures the last day we were there! Thank you for helping me get the boats in the bay that morning. Your suggestions would have turned out even better, had I realized that my lens was cloudy earlier. (Thanks for that too, by the way). So nice to meet you and thanks for being so willing to help me out. I hope we meet again.

Those are beautiful pictures and the photos looks professional. I also like to live on the ground floor because of easiness.

Thanks so much Fins ...not only for sharing such wonderful pics ...but also for getting me out of my funk. I was upset and feeling sorry for myself about the possibility of the demolition of ABR's Moonrise Bar. Your wide assortment of brilliant pictures woke me up and reminded me who the real star of the area is and what is most important ...it is Akumal Bay itself, along with the rest of the surrounding natural beauty of Caribbean Mexico. The Mexican people and the friends made there are a close second.
