I often told Alan that I want to go photo snow, better to snow hard, snow tigers and lions... and... non stop...
 
How romantic the theme it would be!
 
Of course it is an unrealistic dream while you are living in FL, one of the warmest States. But maybe.. just maybe, I can borrow some snow over?
 
This one was taken in a park at Morris Bridge, I did a photo painting design from the original photo. Did I make you believe it was snowing in FL at your very first glance?
 
P.S.. listening to the Eric Carmen's "Never Gonna Fall in love again".. such a pretty oldey song with smooth twists.
 
Talking about songs I have been listening.. last time.. I was telling the others that I like to listen old countries, they laughed at me (including my husband).. boy.. what a taste I have.

                  
2 years went by, our friends Peter and Eva's pretty girl Katrina was having her 2 years' birthday party at our club house. I was glad to have chance to take a few portraits of them again. All photos were taken at indoors at low light and hand held.

9:50AM.. We signed up two on shore exclusions with Princess: Tulum Mayan Ruins & Xel-Ha Park at the port of Mexico. So when we got off the ship, we took a 30 minutes ferry ride to the mainland town of Playa del Carmen.
 
The 30 minutes ferry ride was .. a.. terrible experience (both ways), on one second, you saw the water appeared above your head on one side of windows, on the next second... the same scary theme repeated it's self again on another side of windows. The ferry boat was swinging 45 degree off center.. left.. right .. left .. right..
 
Attendants were walking through seats back and forth, selling cosmetic jewelries, at the same time.. they gave away purple color plastic bags to one and another passengers... yup... for you to vomit into, an unique souvenir if you care to bring it back.
 
Finally, our feet touched the non-swing ground again, in Playa del Carmen, everybody said "thank you God".
 
Then about 80 (I guess) of us followed two local tour guiders, marched through the main street to a parking lot 20 minutes away, from where to get on tour buses. We walked really fast.. I barely could stop and take photos.. so.. I acted as a crazy soldier carrying an AK47.. shotting away without much framing while passing by this and that ... subjects.
 
This wall painting was shot while passing by a tattoo shop, the entry way where the painting is was extremely narrow, only a skinny person could walking through it humaningly possible. So angling the camera to get the picture was a big test. But.. hey... I am glad I got it out right.. What a thrilling painting!
 
The original colored one was nice , but I finally decided to chose a sepia version design, because, this version gives me the strongest feel.
