Spiritual

Spirituality is a personal thing. Everyone sees it differently, some find it in a church. For me I find it in nature, the beauty around me. The following pictures are all of a serene nature, all to me shows the source and that it is in all of us.





Rodeo Bull Riding Mexican Style

That blurr is a cowboy jumping on the bull. This young fellow was a novice so had the cinch that went under the belly of the bull. The others that were more experienced didn't have that they just grip hard with the knees. These bull riders ride "no hands" or hands free. Not like ours. But then you will see the bulls. They do know what they are expected to do!!!
Bulls in the shoot.
The bull riders, these were all young fellows that must go to a bull riding school.

The bulls, very placid, even have halters and tied up. But they really know what they are supposed to do. A young rider practicing his roping.

Barra de Navidad

This is the neighbouring town called Barra de Navidad. It's about 6km south of Melaque. I rode my bike there and took these photos as well as some others that I will add in a separate post.
































The most spectacular Honey Suckle tree I have ever seen.
Do you think these trucks could get any closer!
