I was uploading all of our vacation pictures this morning and every other picture seemed to be like this. I´ve really missed photographing this lake which lies right outside our door in France. It´s moods are always changing like a person with a complicated personality,- smiling and laughing in the summer with dancing rays of sunlight, contemplative and stormy in the winter months, sometimes brisk and abrubt and not in the mood to communicate with sudden bursts of agression out of nowhere as a July storm blows restaurant tables upside-down and tourists run dashing, soaked before they even reach their cars.
I am used to waking up and checking the lake´s moods before I check my own-- a sort of barometer. Often they are similar. More times than not they change as the day progresses. I hope I can find a natural element here in Mexico that I can connect with each day, maybe the sun or the wind. It´s important to connect with nature. What element of nature do you connect with where you are living?

That's just beautiful Chris.
When I'm "home" in Mazatlan, I connect with the ocean, which has always been my #1 preferred natural wonder. I think that comes from growing up right on the beach.
I think I'm expected to use the Rockies as my source of inspiration here in Colorado, but they just don't do it for me the way water does.
I love your lake pictures, and I hope you find something to feed your soul in Potosi. If not, you're always welcome in Mazatlan!
We would love to visit Mazatlan befoe we leave. This way we can do a blogger meet up :)
Count on it!
My husband spends two or three months there each winter, and I go for a month at the beginning and a week or two at the end (SOMEBODY has to work the rest of the time!), so we have plenty of opportunity to meet.
You'll love it! Maz has the best beach in Mexico (and I'm TOTALLY impartial, right?). (:
