Miscellaneous Photos from SMA
With the town pretty much shut down due to the COVID-19 I haven’t been out and about too much for photos. Instead, here are some miscellaneous photos I’ve pulled off of my phone.
Beautiful Queretaro
While San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful colonial city, Queretaro is a very close second. It’s only an hour from SMA and has a beautiful colonial central area. Bill and I had to take the car in for service today and Queretaro has the closest dealership so while the car was being serviced we decided to stroll the downtown streets. It’s quite beautiful with parks, churches, restaurants and shops.
Hibiscus
Our hibiscus are in full bloom so I thought I’d play with a few photos I got on my phone. I love the texture of the petals.
Morelia in HDR
I’m not a big fan of HDR as so often it looks over-baked, but when you’re bored at home it’s kind of fun to see what you can create using the HDR processing. Her are a few photos from our trip to Morelia that I processed as HDR images. Enjoy! P.S. While I was at I decided to swap out the skies using Skylum’s Luminar program. It does a pretty
Eternal San Miguel de Allende Book
My good friend, Ted Davis, recently published a book called Eternal San Miguel de Allende: Celebrating the Hidden Treasures of a Timeless Town. Ted is an extraordinary photographer with his gallery (Ted Davis Galería de Fotografía) on Zacateros. (Featured photo by Ted Davis) I had the pleasure and privilege to work with Ted on his book.

A Few Random Photos
Here are just a few random photos. With San Miguel on virtual lockdown due to the virus we’re just staying close to home and enjoying the kids and the beautiful sunsets.
Amistad Canada 10th Anniversary
Amistad Canada held their 10th anniversary at the Institute Allende. Lots of folks showed up for the event to support the local NGOs. Here are a few photos from the event.
Just Another Afternoon in the Jardin
You just never know what you’re going to see in the Jardin of San Miguel. Yesterday afternoon a group of dancers were performing and the costumes were amazing.
Monarch Sanctuary in Michoacán
We just got back from a wonderful trip to Morelia and the monarch sanctuary in Michoacán. We stayed one night in Morelia and it’s a beautiful vibrant city. Although there weren’t as many monarchs as last year, it was still a fantastic privilege to see one of the world’s natural wonders. All-in-all, it was a fantastic trip and here are a few of my favorite photos from our journey. Enjoy!
3 Encuentro Nacional de Danza Folklória
Last night Bill and I walked up to Plaza Civica to see the Folklória dancers. This is Independence weekend in San Miguel so there were lots of people in the plaza for the show. I have to say that Folklória is one of my favorite things to watch. Last night the lighting wasn’t great, but the dancers were wonderful so I tried my best to get a few nice photos.
