In about two weeks we’ll be in Belize, and I’m certainly ready for topical beaches! (This picture is of Playa del Carmen in Mexico, though.)

It’s not even really winter yet here, but tropical beaches already sound pretty good to me.

Rocks on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

I love the peachy color of the clouds, reflected a bit on the sand.

Another beach shot from Mexico.

Even though it’s summer here in Minnesota, I’m missing tropical vacation and just relaxing on a beautiful beach.

All colors are completely authentic, and not Photoshopped!

I’m getting ready to head out on another trip, which will include a day spent at a beach near Tarifa, Spain. These pictures are of beaches in Mexico; I’m excited to compare them to Mediterranean scenes.
