Dia de los Muertos (#dayofthedead) preparations in @visitpuertovallarta. Finishing touches to a shrine honoring Frida Kahlo, the great 20th century #mexicanartist. From tonight through November 1, the Latino world celebrates life with the dead. #deadelosmuertos #fridakahlo #mexicanfestival #mexicanculture
The well known dome & bell tower of @visitpuertovallarta Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe but from the church’s back on Calle Matamoros - close to home. The deep blue tropical sky’s an added bonus. #urbanphotography #mexicotravel #thursdaymood #churcharchitecture
“Gold nuggets floating in the sky” Honestly, I’m not (too) obsessed with sunsets, but when I look up from my desk & see views like this over the #bahiadebanderas @visitpuertovallarta even I don’t take their transitory perfection for granted. #nature_brilliance #mexico_amazing #pvsunsets
Clouds forming windows into infinite space. The ever fascinating sky over the Bahia de Banderas @visitpuertovallarta #bahiadebanderas #sunsetsunday #pvsunsets #nature_brilliance #mexicotravel #expatliving
As the world’s 7th largest bay, the Bahia de Benderas does create some nice Pacific Ocean surf. I like the #saturdaymorningsunshine illuminating the white crest of the #wave. @visitpuertovallarta #puertovallarta #beachwaves #mexicotravel #nature_brilliance #waterfrontliving
Roasting Chiapas #organiccoffee beans over a wood fire in a traditional oven at La Fortuna. How 2 men helped their families, created premium food products & found love. Please read my article by clicking the link in my bio. #mexicanfood #mexicancoffee #organicfarming #gayentrepreneur #foodiefriday @ifwtwa1
Silver blue has always been a fascinating color to me. The sea & #fishshack soon meld into one harmonious picture. #waterfrontphotography #floridatravel #gulfofmexico #nature_brilliance
A #drangonfly - the hummingbird of insects. #nature_brilliance #insect_perfection #photojournalism
To celebrate National Drink Beer Day here are 2 premium small batch brews I discovered traveling the past year: (left) Gutterhead Imperial Red Ale, @brewerydraconum Santa Clarita, CA & (right) No Name, an unfiltered brew by ΝΗΣΟΣ (Island) Brewery, @tinos_island_official @cyclades_islands Greece #drinkbeerday #FoodieFriday @ifwtwa1
Harvesting the abundance of the Bay of Banderas @visitpuertovallarta Mexico. The #bahiadebanderas is a virtual supermarket of fish & seafood enjoyed in homes, taco stands & fine dining restaurants. #traveltuesday #mexicanfood #fishingpicoftheday #beachsunset
When an #infinitypool reflects infinity 🙃 @signatureloungepv @visitpuertovallarta #mondaymood #mexicanbeauty #bahiadebanderas #sunsetview
September 16 Mexican Independence Day celebrations @visitpuertovallarta #nationalholidays #mexicanfolkloricdance #mexicanindependencedayweekend #culturaltourism #culturalappreciation
The much photographed @visitpuertovallarta landmark Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in historic El Centro. Started in 1903, it has been in its present form since 1987. Its design evolved along with the tastes of a variety of parish opinions. You find elements of #baroquearchitecture, #renaissancearchitecture and #colonialmexico design, yet in feeling it’s a simple neighborhood church. #mexicanstyle @ifwtwa1 #instagramthursdays #nightimages
No this is not an early Christmas decoration on the Malecon @visitpuertovallarta. It’s decorations for #mexicanindependenceday on 9/16. But week long festivities start 9/13. Interestingly the young USA government opposed Independence in 1821 since slavery was abolished in Mexico. Pro-slavery USA supported American slave owners in Texas’ separation & then in 1840s invaded Mexico seizing 2/3 of the country - entire southwest & California - in hopes of expanding the number of slave states. I’m very pleased as an expat in Mexico to participate in the festivities especially given the racist anti-Mexican rhetoric of Trump. #mexicanlife #mexicanhistory #expatlifemexico #culturaltourism
Who doesn’t like looking at cloud formations over the ocean? @visitpuertovallarta it doesn’t matter if they are seen in the reflective sunlight of dawn (1st 3 pics) or at sunset (last 2 pics) the images are paintings in the sky. #bahiadebanderas #sunrise_sunset_photogroup #mexicanbeauty #traveltuesday #puertovallartamexico
My 3rd time savoring the prime #argentinebeef at Serrano’s Meat House in @visitpuertovallarta. Their wine list presents Mexico’s finest vineyards including Casa Madero (North America’s oldest #winery founded 1597). The 2015 Malbec was rich, smooth with notes of ripe berries, dark chocolate & hints of coffee. #mexicanwine #valledeparrascoahuila #outdoordining #puertovallartalife #puertovallartaeats
I love the unexpected. You come across lots when wandering the streets of @visitpuertovallarta. Why not a freshly painted recycled picture frame to highlight a potted plant on a garden wall. #urbangardens #tropicalgardens #mexicogarden #gardenart #gardenartworks #gardenwhimsy
Craft stalls getting ready for the day at the market on Isla Cuale @visitpuertovallarta Mexico. #islacualepuertovallarta #craftmarkets #mexicancrafts
More than just “another sunset” in @visitpuertovallarta in paradise (with @pirateshipvallarta ). This is a tropical rainy season sunset with thunderheads & humidity adding to light’s refraction. (The Maragalante Pirate Ship adds a different atmosphere). I love the rainy season. #tropicslife #tropicalsunset #mondaynight
I love seeing the setting moon as much as sunsets. Usually it’s very early morning when all is quiet - except the roosters - in @visitpuertovallarta Mexico. #nightphotographycaptures #pacificoceanview #bahiadebanderas #moonset
