Note Card Party at Vee's Place!

It is SO HOT, so today for Vee's note card party, I am going to do cards with lots of sunshine and blue, blue ocean to cool off your eyes (at least).  Don't know if we'll be going on any kind of vacation this year, but I can dream, can't I?  These photos are from our last trip to Akumal, summer of '10 and here...


Mexico, sigh............. One of our favorite places to go.  Oh, how I LOVE to fall sleep and wake up listening to the ocean rushing onto the rocks or just lapping the beach.  Feeling the sultry, salty air and the breeze on my sticky, sun-warmed skin...


A sleepy, slower way of life, never getting in any hurry, just a very relaxed way about this place...


Seems like the skies and the water are so clear - like clear mountain vistas.....


You can swim in the ocean and snorkel and take in all the coral and timid sea life, or simply relax in the pool, rest your chin on your hands and close your eyes.  Let the sun and the cool water and breeze carry all your burdens away as you doze.  A day spent in the sun and water makes you feel so drowsy, doesn't it?   This kind of relaxing is soooo good for the body, mind and soul.  So have a little bite to eat, lie back in your lounge by the beach and watch the sun go down and the moon come up over the ocean...

Enjoy your trip?

Go see Vee's blog for a list of others who've joined the party! You can be next!




A Haven for Vee

I would rather be on the beach than anywhere else in the world! What amazing photos! I did enjoy my trip!

Vee said...

Yes, I did enjoy the trip. There is something about the smell, the sun, the sound that is nearly knocking me out right now and it's only 9:25 and I've only seen it. Ha! The power of suggestion.

I love a beach whether at a lake or the seashore. Your photos are stunning. I love the last one. Thanks for visiting me. Blessings, Pamela

Hi Vicky ~ even though I live in a beach community, I sure enjoyed your pictures. We visited Texas earlier this year, and I have to agree..there's no weather like SoCal's.

What a fun little trip. It reminded me of our trip to Akumal a year or so ago. Beautiful scenery and how I'd love to be swimming in that cool blue ocean just now. Great images that would make wonderful note cards.

I did enjoy my trip! Beauty and nothing I have to do -- nicer to think about than the pile of laundry I'm currently surrounded by:)

Chickie,
I love those ocean water blues! Serene and calming. Thanks for the temporary brain paralysis. It took me away for the moment. Yes, I'm dreaming the same dream... :)
Love ya, kid.

Such beautiful weather, water and and water! I felt like I was there by looking at your photos. My daughter honeymooned in Mexioc recently at a resort very much like this one. It was very relaxing.
