Cathy — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:08:20 +0000

We had a lot of fun picking photos for photo month. I had a good time strolling down memory lane looking at old photos from my travels to Mexico and Asia. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Here’s a roundup of our photos. Click on the thumbnail to view it larger. (Adobe Flash is required.)

Flower garden – Thailand

A few summers ago we went to Thailand. Our tour took us to Bangkok and Pattaya. We visited a flower garden and I was awed by this rock sculpture fountain.

Model in training

Such a little diva! I love how she’s looking over her shoulder and the tiny smirk.

Yelapa, Mexico

This is one of my all time favorite photos. We were on a day trip to Yelapa, Mexico and were allowed time to wonder the beach and we came across this pile of rocks. What caught my eye was that someone had stacked up a few on the right. It only took seconds for me to pull out my camera and find the right angle. The boat in the back balances the stack of rocks perfectly.

Minneapolis light rail

This is the Minneapolis Light Rail. It was the middle of the afternoon and amazingly there was not a person in sight! I just love the way the the blue of the buildings are reflecting off the train.

Vietnam market full of fresh fruit!

This photo makes me want to hop on a plane today and head to Vietnam. The markets are full of fresh food, this is one of the may isles of fruits. It just makes my mouth water thinking about the logans (nhan), rambutan (chom chom), green dragon (thanh long), mangosteen (mang cut) and many more! Learn about the different fruit available in Vietnam here.

Rain? That’s not going to stop us!

Vietnam is known to have two seasons – dry and rainy. We just happened to be visiting during rainy season and were amazed at how well everyone got around during downpour! It seems they’re use to it because in a blink of an eye everyone went from not wearing the rain covers to having them on. Lucky for us, that day we were in a taxi!

The Guthrie Theatre

Just a bike ride away from my house is the Guthrie Theatre. The bright bold color of the building really stands out against the green of the park and the blue sky. The clouds were a bonus!

Brrrr

Another view of the Mississippi River and the University of Minnesota. Can you tell this was taken on a freezing day last February?

Sunset in Mexico

I love a good sunset. This was taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
