At the market in Malinalco, Mexico
Every Wednesday is market day. There are plenty of street dogs around, either patiently waiting for leftovers or simply using the shade to take a nap.
Nice to see that the people and dogs at the market are very polite to each other.
On the streets of Malinalco, Mexico
These guys napping in the shadow during the afternoon heat. There are plenty of street dogs around here but most of them look well fed and they are very friendly towards people and vice versa.
They didn´t even blink once when I passed and watched them.
On the streets of Tulum, Mexico XI
What can I say, I took a lot of photos of dogs. This one just stood there for a while not sure what to do next. Then he started to wander off.
On the streets of Tulum, Mexico IX
One thing that struck me while wandering around was, how clean the streets are. Saw this guy doing his business on the palm tree with a can dedicated to chicle – chewing gum. On the tree beside it was a can for cigarette butts.
On the streets of Tulum, Mexico VIII
There were not as many street dogs around as I would have had expected, but a lot of people actually have dogs. I really miss having a dog. This one was snoozing in front of a paint supply shop.
Observation: It´s too hot to move during the afternoon heat.
It´s a dogs life
A spoiled pooch that cannot get enough. When you are torn between a popsicle or scoops of vanilla & walnut ice cream with chocolate sprinkles on top.
What is your favourite flavour?
It´s a dog´s life
What can I say? Dogs like ice cream. I like dogs.
Last of 2017
So 2017 ended rather quietly with a bottle of wine and a plate of delicious Swiss cheese. Best of 2017 was that I finally got back into drawing after many years of not doing anything about it but always having it at the back of my head.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Inktober challenge and am super happy that one of my best friends pointed it out to me (Thank you Elise!). It certainly helped to create a positive habit of drawing regularly. Not every day, as there are plenty of other things I like to do, but about every other day.
Beside ink, which is my favourite at the moment, I am also trying to teach myself how to use water colours. I always had them but never actively used them.
Happy new year!
Happy holidays
I´m not big on all the Christma hype and also mostly missed out on any preparations due to the flu for the last week. So I made my own Christmas card instead.
Happy holidays!
Don´t be shy
The second last of the Inktober inspired drawings.
More ink
Inktober was a lot of fun thanks to a friend who pointed it out to me and I really enjoyed drawing with ink, something I hadn´t done in years.
Bought a new notebook and will definitely keep on going.

More inktober inspiration….
This one was inspired by the turtles we saw while snorkeling in Belize…
