  4. What a gorgeous place. I too like the contrast of cactus and water. Not something I usually see in our AZ desert.

  10. I wish I was in your photos because that would mean that I was on a vacation on a beach in the middle of nowhere without my kids... sleeping and lounging with Hubs. Beautiful is that island!
