Hello Tom, I know what you mean, I have traveled every backroad within a 50 mile radius of my home and have taken 30,000+ shots in the last year with only a very small percent of them interesting enough or good enough to share.

I was fortunate to have that ticket given to me and was able to go to Belieze, I had only had my camera for about two weeks with just the kit lens. I stayed on the island of Ambergris Cay, north of San Pedro.  Circumstances didn't permit a lot of time for me to take off on my own and there are unlimited photo ops there, but with the kit lens I was limited to what I could shoot, not that I didn't try anyway, LOL. 

I would love to go back and take a photography vacation there, but those trips just do not come along more than once in a life time. So until a cash winfall comes my way, I'll continue trying to get that great shot of what's available to me here. And as time permits venture out of my box to find that interesting, beautiful scenic spot, or something unque to shoot and share. 

In the mean time, I hope my skills as a photograper will grow, my artistic eye will develope, and I will actually be able to find that perfect POV through the lens, LOL.
