baja is nice this time of year

there are pristine private beaches that stretch for miles

this is a closeup of the beach at the water's edge

morning view over coffee



the hotel resort comes with regal architecture, fountains, courtyards

an example of a framed courtyard with a blue ocean as the backdrop

decorations of cacti adorn this watering hole next to a popular restaurant

in this part of the world hundreds of whales swim up almost to the shores edge as they make their migratory journeys

interesting sign hung inside a store entry door - not sure what it means ......

the sign may be alluding to this - elsewhere close to downtown, things get just a little more crowded

a clown who makes the most amazing balloon creations gets ready to work the restaurants along the crowded beach

a downtown drinking establishment during the off-season - the name is an obvious play on words

in a nearby old town, new abodes spring up daily even as roads cannot catch up

reminds me of

two very good dog friends sharing an afternoon nap under the shade of a tree

colorful and soft stuffed animals waiting patiently in a storefront window display

a statue of a pretty mermaid adorn the entrance to a building somewhere downtown

young child gazes intently at the funny bartender as he teases and plays with her during a spare moment

children play in a shallow pond at a hotel resort for priviledged families


an item in a tourist trinket store of an angel carrying a watermelon leave more questions than answers

birds chase for crumbs under diners' tables at a restaurant on the beach close to the beaten path

a bulldog catches some sleep having been tuckered out by a walk to the local supermarket

shallow tide pools teeming with life on the baja coastline

a nice vista looking over the ocean from a bluff

a talented gull dreams of a life on the stage
