Upgrading my iphone is on my list of things to do this year, but this old iphone 4 took some not so bad pics while tagging along with me in Mexico. Here are a few of my favorite:

The pelicans on this beach have found easy street! They're obviously regulars as the cook would toss them a scrap of fish every so often.
Oh my gosh, those cheeks!
We had to pass by this colorful graveyard to get to one of the beaches.
I don't know about where you live, but ol'man winter just won't let go where I hang my hat. We virtually never have snow in March and it's practically at the half way point and it's still coming down!
I woefully remember this idyllic sound.
Anyhoo, I've been promised that spring will arrive eventually.
I suppose a collection of Mexico pictures wouldn't be complete without at least one “beach babe” shot, right?
My lovely daughter and me enjoying a yummy red drink delivered to us right on the beach.
As you can tell, I loved it there and I'm already planning to go back next year.
And now for the bookmark giveaway
I picked these gorgeous hand-painted bookmarks up (bought from a beach vendor) and will giveaway one to 3 special winners. Open internationally, and I'll write a personal note on the back.

Seems like Mexico is as good as I thought. Perhaps I too will visit in near future. And yeah, you need to upgrade your iPhone. I mean, iPhone 4 is quite old… Get an iPhone 7. And Thanks for offering the bookmarks. That too, with a personal note! Now I am getting exited…
The bookmarks are beautiful. Thanks for the chance

I love your Clockwise and Perception series! Just re-read the whole Clockwise series (all six books!) this past week! As Ms. Birdlady, you know I love birds! ❤ Thanks for offering such a great prize! 🙂
Loved the pictures, especially the pelicans! They remind me of Daytona Beach where I grew up & we always had a couple hanging around looking for a hand out when fishing at the beach.
I’m quite envious. It all looks fabulous. The bookmarks are gorgeous!!!
