In the Background

Me at sea just beyond El Arco.  2014.

My whole world has been photographs since we got home.

I am still processing our pictures, but frankly the number of them overwhelms me.  Some days we took almost two thousand.  I’ve posted four albums of them on Facebook, but I need to edit the too many to a few for a printed album from Snapfish.

Since we got home, we count our points, we go to the gym, he goes to work, and I move the photographs around.  I have not figured out how world traveler, Peter Knego, creates his wonderfully edited albums.  Nor have I figured out how Kay of “Musings” picks the images that tell her travel story so well.

I offer four pictures today from Cabo San Lucas. 

I had wanted to go to El Arco, the arch in the rocks at the very tip of Baja California.  Then, I dreamed of spending a little time on Lovers Beach, that sandy break in the rocks.  Instead of taking a tour out into the desert, we rented a small boat which took us to the rocks and the beach.  Stunning stuff. 

Little surf, warm water, and helpful hands to get us out and into the boat again.

I thought this very appropriate.

As I was helped back into the boat, the sand was swept out from under my feet.  Did George get a picture?  No.  So down I went.  I was wet almost to my chin in front, and my backpack was drenched on my back.  My camera was in the backpack.  Even worse, the last day on the ship, I dropped it flat on it's back.

It’s in the shop, and they say it will be back in my hands this week.  I am very blessed that they can repair it.  Indeed.
