Finally back!

Hello everyone!  Yes, this is still an active blog!  Things have been extremely busy lately, but the good news is I now have the material for quite a few new blogs.  The most exciting thing that occurred since my last post was we took a vacation in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico.  For those not familiar with this area, it is south of Cancun.  Cancun itself is located on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, close to its southern border with Belize. 

We stayed at an all inclusive hotel that had a good deal of wildlife so I had a number of photo subjects.  I also took several day trips and have photos from them.  In the next few days I will begin posting blogs about the different types of wildlife I saw there.  In the meantime I will share this picture I took early in the morning at the beach by our hotel.
