Dang. When you think you know your own back yard . . .


I am not a golfer. If I am, I am the worlds worst.
A desert bush, running fast as I could, endowing into it,
would bring greater happiness.

I've been on the golf course (below). Neither playing or driving.
You'd think I would have noticed the boats. I did not, but it was about the 12th hole with magnificent scenery, after all.


Left Loreto, had a look at this little place, on to Puerto Esconido for fuel, around Isla Donzante & returned home.

Snapshots follow. (Warning. There are 23).

looks like the developers forgot to kill all of the mangroves. better call them back to complete the destruction. how dare they leave a mangrove behind when they could have replaced the shoreline with rip rap.

The developers, I believe, installed the mangroves.

You are jiving, my man.:no::no:

They did try to grow young plants for a while. I think they tried to make people believe they had good intentions.
But, like most vegetation they tried to preserve, pretty much all of it ended up dead, just like their project.:biggrin:




I think my photographic memory ran out of film

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

VERY COOL PICS!!


Thanks for sharing them with us!

You're RIGHT Fez...it does look like a fist. I was thinking while looking at all the rocks and cliffs that you might be able to pick out many shapes and objects.
