Hello world. Welcome to my little corner. I’m Mark. I have traveled a little (fifty US states, couple provinces in Canada, and couple states in Mexico). I’m sharing pictures and out of way places mostly. Cancun didn’t need attention you know it’s there, But pyramid at Coba, you can climb there. Waterfalls in West Virginia to desert of California, I’ll take you to places you may have never heard of.
But wait there’s more! Come by for pictures stay for flash fiction! I like a good twisted story with flawed characters. I won’t keep you long, very few over 300 words. Once in awhile there’s a happy ending. I’m working with a couple of challenges, so maybe we will meet there. Leaving any comments, likes or follows leads me back to you.
There will be reblogs!
As of January 2017, I have launched a brevity based site. Http://Project21words.wordpress.com. Any thing you can do in 21 words or 2 images can added to the site. It’s a communal idea. Anybody willing to play along, email me at Project21words@gmail.com. I’ll reply with invite. You accept and write something. You sends images to email that accompany work. I see it as pending review, then post it.
A sample of what awaits you. …
Flash fiction
In pictures
In poem

This is your humble blog host. That is Tulum, Mexico. The view from the wall behind is far better.

The call of the sea. I once moved away for 9 months. 9 miserable months away from the lap and pound of sea on sand and that certain salty smell. Got claustrophobic, felt surrounded by people. Finally moved back. Had to. So I understand your love of the coast.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I cannot post photos on a guest post. I can add them from your media files. So I can email you 4 pictures or I can post 4 pictures on a posting called guest from which you can download to your media file. At that point either of us can add them. I have numbered items them Xxx1, Xxx2,Xxx3, & Xxx4. I wanted to make them stand out in post. I submit the post for review. Let me know how you want the pictures sent. If you give me your email in a comment you should go back and delete the comment later

Yes, good point. I don’t drive when we go Mexico for that and other reasons. Tourists are cash cows in some places too. Hawaii is very laid back. Unless you’re stupid, it hard to get in trouble.
