I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
Hubby and I just returned from a week in Belize. We started our trip with 4 nights at the Sleeping Giant Rainforest Resort. A beautiful resort with lovely landscaped gardens, the rainforest, a view of the mountains and river. I will do a review of our stay on Trip Advisor but I wanted to start my post with the first day of our vacation in Belize.
The resort was located in the Belize rainforest.. lovely trees and flowers surrounded the resort and hotel rooms..
The bougainvillea in Belize is gorgeous, so many pretty colors..
The ducks and turkeys roamed freely around the resort, the flowers attracted all kinds of birds. I will share more of the lifers and new birds I saw while in Belize.
The Flamboyant trees were one of my favorite trees, also known as the Royal Poinciana.
The Social Flycatchers were silly trying to build a nest inside an umbrella near the resorts pool.
A view of the Sleeping Giant and mountains surrounding the rainforest resort..We had a busy week, touring the Mayan ruins, birdwatching, caving and hiking in the rainforest.. I have over a thousand photos to go thru and this is just the start.. Thanks for stopping by and for the comments.
Join in on the fun and for more wonderful photos please visit Mosaic Monday and more

It's a gorgeous place! Glad you had a good time and returned safely!
Oh how wonderful! What a beautiful place. Can't wait to hear more about your trip.
Hi Eileen, thanks for sharing this amazing place with us. I felt as if I was there. I think I used to have that shrub with the claw-like flowers in my SA garden. But it was an alien and I had to eradicate it. I'm not sure what it's called, but is sure is pretty. I loved the social flycatchers building a nest in the umbrella! I look forward to more of your trip. Have a great day. Jo

I've been told that Belize is beautiful, and your photos in this post confirm that. I'm looking forward to seeing many more photos from this vacation.
Stunning - what a wonderful place to vacation. Everything is so vivid. Love the little birds trying to nest in the umbrella - we had a bat in our umbrella the other day. Guess the daylight was too much for him when we opened the umbrella because he eventually flew away - after I got pictures.
Wow what a wonderful place for a vacation. Beautiful!!!
Wonderful photos from your trip! I am glad you had such a grand time!

How timely is your post! Our family is trying to figure out where we want to go for Christmas break and Belize is one of them. I can't wait to see more of your trip. Please let me know when you post your comment on Trip Advisor. Thanks, Christa
I can relate to the amount/number of photos taken!
And Belize...they speak English there. That's a plus.
Belize? Rain forest resort? And you didn't invite ME?? I'm sure it just got lost in the mail. I am going to have to have a talk with my mailman. Hope you had a great time my friend :)
this place looks wonderful Eileen. What a lovely place for s holiday. I love the look of the pool area and the tropical plants. The poinciana tree is gorgeous.
I look forward to seeing more pics as you troll through them.
Happy travels. and thank you for stopping by my blog today to say hi.
What a great place to bird! Wonderful food, flora and fauna....and most of all some relaxation involved:)
Hello There, We just got home from a great week--which was a terrific 'healing' experience for me --as I recover from gallbladder surgery followed by that wicked infection... You'll have to check out my blog post today (if you haven't done so yet).
Happy Memorial Day to you and yours... Let's never forget those men and women (past and present) who were/are in the Armed Forces and have done so much to give us the FREEDOM we have today. God Bless ALL of them and God Bless the USA.
So you all were traveling when we were... It's just that we have never been to Belize... How gorgeous... I'm sure you had LOTS of fun and have many photos to share... yeah!!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Absolutely Beautiful!!

Hi Eileen, You are fortunate to be able to vacation in such a paradise! Beautiful flowers, scenery and birds. I have not yet been there to visit but I sure do hope to go there some day. Have a fantastic coming week!
Looks like a wonderful vacation. Great shots.
What a fabulous vacation this must have been, Eileen! The resort looks so lovely. I also enjoyed seeing all your photos on facebook. I think I'll add Belize to places I'd like to visit one day!
I want to be there :) Wonderful photos!
What beautiful photos of your amazing vacation!
A beautiful and refreshing place to holiday. We have Poinciana trees growing in the streets of our town, along with purple flowering Jacarandas.
Looks like paradise! Glad you're back; you were missed!
What a fantastic location for a vacation! Your photos show such a beautiful place.

Absolutely beautiful my hubby and I thought about going there. We read that as soon as you got off the boat they were people trying to rob you. But it looks like you had no problems and a great time
Fabulous post Eileen. We went to Belize ... oh 20 years or so ago...can't believe it has been so long. We loved it. And I can see you did too. Looking forward to more beautiful pictures and more memories.
Eileen, that must have been a great time! I love all those photos, just bursting with color!
Truly a beautiful resort Eileen, and what leak that birds simply a nest in a large parasol made lol ... great to see. Also, your other pictures of nature there are very beautiful and colorful :-)
I've been away from my computer for a few days, so just catching up. Belize looks utterly incredible ... the resort is definitely a rainbow land!
wow, i love all the bright colors. gorgeous birds & plants. so pretty. looks like a fun trip. glad you had a blast. ( :

What a trip!
It appears you fully enjoyed this journey and who wouldn't with such glorious colours and birding following such a long Winter here~
What wonderful scenery for a holiday!
I love Poincianas! They are everywhere where I live.
What a gorgeous place for a holiday! Lovely shots too.
