When I’m lucky, I get more than a few images out of a place I visit. Back in June, I visited the Kenilworth Aquatic Garden (seen here and here) but I don’t feel right blogging all the images all at the same time. I feel like you all may get bored by seeing similar images all within a few days of each other. What do you think? So I decided I could at least spread them out a bit and keep it exciting. Exciting right?!?

These water lilies only bloom once a year. The same thing goes with McKee-Besher’s sunflower field. I need to learn to visit these places more than once during their peak. I want to keep going and really study these flowers and get the perfect sky. I say that I need to learn and it may be kinda obvious to others, but for some reason, I feel like once is enough. I think this is because I do that with a lot of the DC monuments.

Did you notice the bee? I think thats my favorite part of the image.

I’m back from Cozumel and had an amazing adventure! Although I was sad to come back home, I was also excited that I get to share images with all of you from Mexico.

Check out these amazing links to some of the most gorgous sunrises and sunsets in the world:
I was traveling on Monday, so I posted an image I took in Great Falls National Park at sunset of double waterfalls.
On my last day in Cozumel, I woke up really early to get this shot of the sun rising over the ocean.
Then I posted an image of our first sunset in Cozumel. It’s kinda crazy how enormous the clouds are and the reflection it makes in the water.
Right next to our hotel, were these rocks which made a beautiful foreground for a sunrise image.
Now, for a bird’s eye view of the rocks on the shore.

This was taken at the same time as this image. This is another amazing view of our balcony and I really like it cuz its not your average landscape. It’s taken from 6 stories above and it kinda reminds me of how small we are in the world and this is just a little smidget of it.

This image definitely came out way better than I thought it would. The sunrise was almost behind me when I took this image so I tried to get as much of the color from the sky as I could. I’m so happy that I could capture some of it.

These rocks were right by our condo/hotel. In the afternoons you could see locals coming here playing, snorkeling, and fishing. It seemed kinda dangerous cuz a lot of them were barefoot. When I took this image, I definitely wore my scuba booties.

I’m back from my trip and I had so much fun. It felt like we were non-stop the whole time. Right when we got off the plane, we went on our first dive. I’ll post a video soon from all the diving we did.

We stayed on the west side of the island, where we could watch the amazing sunset right from our balcony. Since we were so non-stop it was hard for me to get a good sunrise. Every morning we woke up early to go diving or snorkeling so on our last day there, I finally got the chance to take a sunrise. We grabbed a taxi at 5:30am and asked to go to the beach. Once we got there, some police officers stopped us and said that the beaches are closed until 6:30. In my head I was kinda freaking out. I had to go somewhere to and get the sunrise or else why did I wake up so early. I tried asking the taxi driver if there was anywhere we could go to get a good view of the sunrise, if not at the beach but luckilyhe did some sweet talking and the cops let us take pictures right at the entrance of the beach. Although we didn’t get to go to the spot we wanted, I’m glad I at least got something.

The cops also said if we had gotten there 20 minutes earlier, we would of seen a sea turtle laying her eggs. It was pretty cool because we did see the big whole she dug and her little footprints. I really wish I had been able to see that. Something you don’t see in DC.

Right after I tookthis image, I turned around and saw this image.
