a couple of cuties

This is the pup we remember from Mexico, so calm and well behaved sitting on Lacey's feet just waiting for our next move.  That pup is long gone.  He's been replaced by a dog 10 lbs heavier and knee deep in our fish pond looking at us with the wild eyes.  Life is funny. * i also love the timelessness of the photo of the little girl- you can't tell if it was taken last week or ten years ago. 

churro love

Best Churros ever!

oscar and me

We were shooting Tori and Austin's day-after portraits.  Oscar was a fantastic assistant, keeping guard for me us at the bottom.   It's unfortunate that I make this face when taking pictures, especially  because I know I'm prematurely aging my face with all of that squinting! *sigh*

the vista from a rooftop villa in Sayulita, Mexico

Lou makes fun of me for saying "vista".  I guess it's just one more Grandma thing that I do.  How charming is this little beach town from above?!

colors everywhere

It's a feast for the senses. 

warm waters

yup.  mexico.

street pup(s)

There are so many street pups wandering around in Sayulita, it's heartbreaking.  We heard horror stories from the locals about abuse, starvation, disease and murder of these pups.  Which of course led us to scoop one up and take him home.  Pictures of Oscar Mora-Yates to come (we're still working on his middle name).
