I’m more of a sun junkie than a snow junkie, and this time of year I’d rather be enjoying a beach rather than skiing down the slopes.
A recent visit to Mazatlan revealed a nearly deserted beach. After taking in this view from my balcony, it was an easy decision to change into a bathing suit and catch a little sun time in the remaining afternoon hours.
The peaceful feeling of sun, waves, and sand makes me smile even now.
Where do you prefer your relaxation – sun or snow?

Great photo!! Excellent image framing.
Great photo! Sun, definitely. I’m headed for FL next week for a long weekend in Sarasota. I can’t wait to get on the beach.
What a gorgeous photo! I love the beach & this one looks so dreamy, thanks for sharing,
Peace
i LOVe the sun. i wish i was there now. instead, we have lots of snow and cold. brr!!
that photo is really calling me …
I love the blue umbrellas in contrast to the brown sand. Great picture.
Thanks everyone! It’s this kind of encouragement that keeps me working at taking better and better photos.
Beautiful shot…it almost makes me prefer sun to snow!
Ah man, that takes me back! I loved Mazatlan!
That’s a great shot and well timed!
Definitely a sun junkie. The altitude when skiing actually makes me kinda sick
But i love sun bathing!
Even though I am enjoying the Seattle sun, I’d hop on a plane in a second to feel the warmth from this beach!
Hard to argue with that sentiment!
I love both. I love snow if I get to ski. But most of all I love sun and swimming in the ocean.
