A sure sign of spring, the flowers are blooming!

Once you climb the stairs of the Pilgrim Monument, you are rewarded with a view of the end of Cape Cod. That little strip of sand out there is the very tip of Cape Cod with the Provincetown Harbor in the foreground.

Decide which way you want to go, State or State?

I took some friends out to Emerald Bay by Lake Tahoe to see the view. The view didn’t show up quite like we were hoping for, but it was still scenic!

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I love Portland, how about you?

Lychee available from a delicious Thai Grocer. I thought it was more interesting to take pictures of it than to eat it.

Some delicious looking peppers in a Mexican grocery store. One of them was turning red, the rest were decidedly staying green. I took advantage of the contrast by having a little photo shoot.

While this is a pretty good pictures of peppers, those of you who know me know that this is not the best picture of peppers I have ever taken.

A beautiful evergreen tree offset from the bright sky, with a nice trimming of new fallen snow.

This was taken while scuba diving in a cenote in Mexico. A cenote is an underground cave with fresh water flowing through it. They can continue on for miles and miles underground with occasional rocky cave like openings. There isn’t much in the way of wildlife down here, but cenote diving makes up for that with the interesting rock formations and effects from the light that you get from diving in a dark cave. This was my first time diving in a cenote and I was very impressed! What you see in the top of the frame is the surface of the water sending light ripples down into the water below.

A very big satellite dish. It was either for a very big job or old technology. Either way, it made for an imposing subject in front of the direct sunlight beaming down on it.
