For the past five weeks I have been in Portland, Oregon (my, how this city has grown up!) for personal and business reasons. As I go about a typical day, I meet many people and the fact that I live in Mexico often arises in conversation. The response is so fun because people love Mexico; [...]
Paseo Alegre is aptly named because a drive along this “Happy Path” is a joy to behold. I came across this little lane recently and felt compelled to take out my camera and capture the personality that this color infused block of homes provides. I am a fan of energetic and bright colors and that [...]
One of the many things I love about living in San Carlos is that you just never know what interesting things are going to happen when you wake up in the morning. For example, yesterday I was in Guaymas driving to the fabric store on Serdan Street after a quick visit to Yossi’s Hair Salon. [...]

As a designer I am very aware of all things visual. One of my favorite network television channels is HGTV, Home & Garden Television. I watched a show the other night called Curb Appeal: The Block. Curb appeal is something I am very interested in because I live in a Mexican resort community on the Sea [...]
Last spring my heart was yearning to share love and the object of my affection arrived in the form of a Mexican rescue puppy. I turned on my laptop one morning and saw an ad on our local community board for “Tidbit.” Needless to say, I fell in love immediately and called the people that [...]
