Mellow Yellow Monday-Belize

This is just one of the many beautiful sunsets that we saw on South Water Caye, Belize! That's an osprey perched on the top of the tree in the second picture. This island was basically our own for an entire week!

Watery Wednesday- Belize

This is just about as watery as it gets! These were taken in the barrier reef of Belize when I went there this past summer for a field study. Belize has the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world and is one of the best preserved. I went snorkeling about 3 times a day for a week. We even went on a night snorkel one night which was pretty cool.

Our first glimpse of the island we stayed on for the next week, South Water Caye.

Just another day in paradise.

Look how clear the water is!

These pictures were taken in Belize which is just south of Mexico and East of Guatemala. It's the smallest country in Central America. I went there this past summer for a two-week wildlife management field study. We stayed at La Milpa Field Station in the Rio Bravo Conservation Area for a week and then we went to South Water Caye for the second week. It was truly one of the most beautiful and untouched wildernesses I have ever seen.
