By now, you must have had enough of tropical pictures. Even more, if you are still stuck in a very wintry landscape with no means of escape. So here is the landscape when I returned from the tropics.
It’s easy to get used to a certain environment, even more, if that environment is an agreeable one. Being in the tropics rids me of any cold I might have, and “cures” a few other ailments that might pop up throughout a winter.
It was time to get a feeling of the surroundings in the Dominican Republic. So we trusted a "guy on the beach who was selling City Tours". Usually, there is no good reason to do such a silly thing, but hey, we were on vacation.
So we paid the guy his requested fee and he gave us a receipt to be presented the next day morning in the hotel lobby.
Being on a vacation means different things to different people. If you talk about a tropical island, most people imagine themselves on the beach in a lounge chair with a drink in one hand, or waiting for a coconut to drop and drink the coconut water straight from the tree…
There were many people like this in the resort we booked. I am not one of those.
It has been a while since I got away. You may have noticed an absence even here on my blog. Not because I have nothing to write about, on the contrary. More like there is no energy to write or do anything at all.
I guess we all know the feeling of being tired and no exit anywhere. All you can (or are allowed to) do is continue working and ensure everything runs smoothly.
After a tumultuous end of 2023, 2024 got off to a quiet start, photography-wise. The winter months in any country are often a bit limited in photo opportunities, even more, so if you are not moving around the countryside.
Nova Scotia is a big enough province to have plenty of opportunities, though. It’s just that I can’t often take advantage of that.
