A ferry ride home from Cozumel made for a great trip, and a view of some interesting cloud formations such as these four offsetting the moon.

..and then there was an ocean. I think the ocean won this battle.

I was surrounded by these little fish diving in Cozumel. OK, I might have scared a few off by swimming by and bursting a few flashes from my camera!

I got this shot on the ferry ride back from Cozumel after a day of diving. Sure, I took some OK shots underwater, but this one is my favorite. Seeing the sun bursting through the clouds with the ships on the horizon was a great way to end the day.

I’m pretty sure this guy was out doing the exact same thing I was. Just enjoying the sun and the waves, and checking out the view of the ruins at Tulum. Maybe he was just a bit more hungry for attention than I was, but who can blame him.

A diver in front of me on a cave dive in Mexico. This isn’t a technically great shot, it is a little blurry and funky, but I really like the effect that it has. It represents what scuba diving through this part of the the cave was like. It was dark and cold, and it felt like you just had to keep focusing on the one light in front of you and keep going.

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.

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.

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!

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!
