To realize The value of one year: Ask a student who Has failed a final exam. To realize The value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize The value of one month: Ask a mother Who has given birth to A premature baby.... To realize The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize The value of one minute: Ask a person Who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize The value of one-second: Ask a person Who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when You can share it with someone special.   To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE.   The origin of this letter is unknown, But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.           Remember...

DSLR PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE RIVIERA MAYA

A little over 2 years ago, a camera was thrust upon me with explicit directions ~ "just keep snapping!" So that is what I did and still do today! This is a collection of shots from the the Riviera Maya, the Viva Wyndham Maya in Playacar. It's so beautiful there. It's pretty hard not to take photographs! Photography by Cindy Aspden.
