Skywatch Friday...Belize sunset



To enjoy more beautiful skies from around the world click on my SKYWATCH link. You can click on some pictures for a larger image.


I took this sunset picture from the back of our ship as we were leaving Belize. We were on a western Caribbean cruise and we stopped at Belize for a day. Belize was wonderful we arranged an excursion which was cave tubing. Our tour guides picked us up at the cruise terminal and we got a little tour of Belize on our way to the river for tubing. This is when I saw my Belize lifers the Gray necked wood rail and I saw the beautiful Vermillion Flycatcher. We hiked thru jungle a bit carrying our tubes, I heard all kinds of birds on the hike but we were on a mission to do our cave tubing. After tubing we had lunch at the resort and enjoyed the resorts butterfly farm.

Gray necked wood rail.. our tour driver stopped so I could take a picture of this lifer.





Cave tubing







A big thanks to everyone who puts Skywatch Friday together for all of us to enjoy.
Also thank you for looking at my sunset picture and my blog.

Lovely sunset ... brings back memories of visiting the Caribbean a few years ago. I've never been 'cave' tubing but I love doing it on rivers so think it must be fun. Thanks for dropping by Happily Retired Gal ;--)

Nothing like sunsets over water--unless, of course it's sunsets over mountains or deserts . . . This one is lovely, and it looks like a great trip. Those of us who barely escape our back yards can live vicariously through you!
