Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo Mexico

We are still enjoying beautiful Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. The above are a few photos taken while here. The sunsets are stunning. The bougainvillea is dripping with multi coloured blooms. I bought myself an ebike which provides me some independence. I still tour around on the trusty scooter with my husband. Kind of hard to get a photo of the two of us on that.
World events are rather disturbing these days. It’s difficult to find positivity but we continue to find it with each day.
Make every day count.
Enjoy the photos.
Cheers Susan
Away, saying hello to 68!

As you may have guessed, I am away. We are in Mexico for the next while.
I few days ago I said hello to 68 and celebrated with my toes in the sand and a margarita in my hand. Maybe more then one margarita. But who is counting?
If I have time for art I will post it. I brought cards to work on while here.
Hope you are all having a good winter.
Cheers Susan Feniak

Hola from beautiful Ixtapa Mexico. Yes I am still on hiatus. Believe me this extended vacation was needed. Anyone that knows me personally will understand what that means. If you follow me on my social media accounts you probably have a good idea of why I am needing this escape.
I did manage to borrow some paper and paint from a friend and whip up 4 cards for a fundraiser. But otherwise I have been taking a break from my creative endeavors as well as my other responsibilities.
When I return home I am looking forward to getting back to my easel. There is an abundance of inspiration here for me to delve into. Photos galore and ideas rumbling about in my head. My fingers are starting to get twitchy. A good sign.
In the meantime I hope you are having a good winter. Stay healthy.
Cheers Susan Feniak
On hiatus…a.k.a.MIA

Hola from Ixtapa Mexico. I am on hiatus for the next wee while. Sadly I haven’t felt like painting lately. That means no blog posts for me to share. Maybe when I return I will feel refreshed and ready to be creative again. In the meantime I will post some photos of our surroundings and adventures. That iguana was one handsome dude, a real poser.
And yes that is a rare photo of me. I am notoriously camera shy. My husband has permission to take photos of me and I am not deleting all of them. At 67 I have finally learned that I look okay. Seriously, that body image thing is an issue.
Take care. Cheers Susan Feniak
More? Yes more sights from Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo….

We are still enjoying our much needed extended vacation in Ixtapa. It’s been a tuff couple of years and an even ruffer 8 months or so. Family issues have taken up a lot of our time and energy. It’s been wonderful to escape and take care of us instead of everyone else. The photos are some what self explanatory. The sunsets are glorious. The palapa is being rebuilt after a fire destroyed it. There are many pangas, boats used by the locals for everything. The iguanas are numerous and interesting. We spend hours watching the ocean and waves. There have been dolphin sightings and even a humpback whale or two. Normally we don’t take selfies. Mostly because we suck at it. But sometimes people want to see us in a photo so I attached the two selfies that we dared to take. Worth a laugh if nothing else.
I hope you are enjoying a glimpse into our vacation. We are relaxed. And that is important. Cheers Susan and Carey
Sights and colours of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo….
Posted: February 20, 2023 Filed under: beach, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation, Susan Feniak art, Susan Feniak Originals, vacation | Tags: For the joy of it, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation, Photos 4 CommentsSome more sights and colours of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. You will have to imagine the sounds. Eventually this wonderful escape will have to come to an end. But we will enjoy it while we are here. Reality will rear it’s ugly head soon enough. Cheers Susan
