Wow, those photos are beautiful. They're much prettier than I remember SP to be last time I was there.
Thanks for sharing; they make me pine for a visit to the gulf.

The pics above were taken during 2004.
I have a bad camera, just sharpened the pics up a bit in Photoshop. Lately, I've gone back to the old 35mm disposable cameras and trying to get more of a film look since I was tired of changing memory cards, charging up batteries, etc.
More pics tomorrow.

Where does it look like this? 
I love how the landscape is mixed with prickly pear, yucca (and maybe palmettos?) as well as other dune-like vegetation. |

Excellent! For the right job opportunity that might be worth me learning Spanish just to live there. I love how colourfull the land looks with the greens, yellows, reds behind a blue sky.
So the beaches/dune areas don't look like this, only inland? |
