The windows and reflections made for an interesting picture. HDR photo.

I saw this flower at a gas station on the way back from Yosemite.

Another picture from my window seat on my way back to Houston. I'm not sure what mountains these are, but I really liked the way it light the middle-ground pink as the sun was setting.

I got this shot of one of the workers prepping some chicken at a local restaurant on the way back to the hotel from Ochos Rios. This turned out to be one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

The pool at our hotel was lit up really nicely at night and made for some great photos. I liked this panoramic shot of the pool.

I made our taxi driver stop for this shot of the bay from one of the parks, and it was well worth it.

I noticed what looked like an abandoned boat that I thought was really interesting. When I stopped for a few pictures of it, I quickly found out that it wasn't abandoned. The picture was totally worth the harrasment from the group of guys who "owned" the boat.
