A very special travelogue of select moments in the Dominican Republic in pictures, because sometimes, there are simply no words.

Plus, if you've got a professional photographer, ah, stalker, at the ready (shout out westsideshots.com), words are truly unworthy.

Without further adieu. A DR pictorial:

I spent a lot of time looking at this...

And this...

And THIS dude...

Who would not get out of my frame...

No matter how I bribed him...

Or how polite my request...

Until I managed to spook him--when I broke out my wings. (Or maybe it was my misplaced foot that did the trick.)

Regardless, the journey continues...
