Has Anyone Seen My Shoe?

Have you ever seen a missing shoe on the street? I often wonder how so many people seem to lose a shoe, and not notice immediately and go back. Maybe I’m just sensitive to lost shoes, but I swear it is more common than it should be. If someone had lost a shoe, I would certainly send them here. This particular leather shoe shop came highly recommended by a friend in Mexico. We had to stop in to check it out. None of them seemed just right to me, but, if I had recently lost a shoe I would be happy to find this place!


Down on the Corner

There are many cool sights in Playa del Carmen. This establishment on a bright yellow street corner is certainly one of them! It was early so not may people were out enjoying this restaurant yet, but I’m sure the crowds were coming!


Drifting Snow

Taken from a cold and windy resting spot during a day of back country skiing. I was hiking Round Top in the Sierras with some friends, and saw this impressive view. This spot was particularly exposed and windy, but that is what made the patterns in the drifting snow so dramatic.


The Milwaukee River

The Milwaukee River at night! I don’t make it back to my homeland of Wisconsin very often in the summer. On this trip I was able to spend a night in Milwaukee with some friends, and had to check out this part of downtown. It was a cool clear night, and the lights shone perfectly off of the water. I didn’t have a tripod so I had to make the best of it by using a railing and some steady hands, and everything worked out just fine!


Feelin’ Crabby

I recently took a short kayak trip on a river that emptied into the Caribbean Sea at Tres Rios in Mexico. After the trip towards the ocean our guide asked everyone if they saw all of the crabs and other wildlife on the way down. I did not. On the way back I did not make the same mistake. These guys were everywhere once you started looking! They were a little shy, but this ones was either vain enough or dumb enough to let me get pretty close to him for a picture.


Soaring Sunrise

We were on our way to a warm land with pristine beaches. First, we had to fly over the beautiful snow-capped mountains. I’m not sure which I like better.


Feelin’ Beachy

This restaurant that extended out onto the beach was a common sight in Playa del Carmen. To get this shot the way I wanted it I had to do a little bit of shooting from the hip, and I think I got lucky with the timing of the clouds and some of the patrons! I miss this place, with a cool and rainy week in progress here I’m ready to go back!


A Tree Between Two Roads

This tree looks lonely, it has no friends to hang out with. Instead it just has the concrete and traffic to keep it company.


Valentine Cupcakes

Sweets made by someone special just for me! How great is that? Happy Valentine’s Day!


The Goal is Within Sight!

The hike to Round Top starts by going through a wooded area. You eventually break out to where you can finally see the top of the peak, your destination for the day, off in the distance. From this point it felt pretty far away but we all knew it would be worth it! I really like the way the trail and string of skiers extends out toward the peak, reaching out for it.
