Day 183

Here we are...THE HALF WAY POINT!!! 6 months...183 days!! Thanks to everyone who keeps checking back and giving me constructive comments and support!

I sat here today, thinking about what it means to have documented 6 months of recognizing the beauty and interest around me, how we see things and how I have learned to see things...naturally this made me think about our sight and specifically our EYES.
I had the priviledge of meeting an amazing woman through our United Way Campaign at work, Tamara Gaudet, she is a motivational speaker who in her 20s lost her vision. She moved me in many ways and today I thought of her and thank her again for reminding me to live life to the fullest and never take anything for granted.
For more info on Tamara, visit her website: www.tamaraspeaks.com

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

It was a super windy day here again...at least the clouds have been blown away!! Still shouldn't complain...mid 20s it better than any number with a negative in front of it!

Happy Birthday to my 'lil sis, Natasha...have to admit is a little scary knowing that she is nearing 30...now I know how my mom must feel as we grow older!!

One of the old peirs at Puerto Escondido...kinda choked with my composition with the shots from here...

This is what appears to be an abandoned, abused and neglected tourist centre...this place didn't quite take off the way they thought it would...

It was a cool cloudy day today in Loreto but to make up for it there was the most AMAZING sunset tonight! The entire sky was this fabulous shade of pink...met a fellow Canadian out shooting aswell. These photos are UNEDITED! The sky was this vibrant!!
