I've decided to repost a curated mix of favorite destinations for a time. As you may have heard, I've surpassed 1,000 posts! It's time to recycle.
While touring the highlights of
Guatemala, we stayed in El Remate, a small village on the Eastern shore of Lake
Peten Itza. Tikal's grand pyramids lie hidden in the surrounding jungle, among
other mysterious Mayan relics. But there is more to be savored here (although,
to be sure, the ruins are first-rate), like a serene lowland jungle overflowing
with simple pleasures. Today, take a walk along the shore; natural delights
await in the weeds.
Follow my feet…
There were colorful purple gallinules, bobbing among the lily pads. They were so fast, dipping into the water with tails up, that I could barely get a photo.
Splendor.
There were several green herons floating among the trash-can sized pads.
So beautiful!
King fishers watched from above.
We walked all the way to the end.
We were alone...
for awhile.
I wish I could take this walk right now. Sigh.

It looks like a perfect holiday place, offering nature walks, bird watching, boat trips, lake lookouts, history.
Superb photos!
I also wish I could take that walk right now and see those birds and water lilies.
Those lily pads and that dock are making my heart flutter! Incredible!

I love it! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. A very interesting place you found, all right. :-)
Well, I'm particularly fond of Mayan ruins, but I'd love to see this wonderful scenery, the beautiful birds, the tempting boardwalks which, I fear, I might not be able to walk.
Thanks for sharing.

Cool photos! The one of the bird with its feet in the air cracks me up.
I love these photos and the way the leaves of the water plants curl up.

Love that Green Heron and the Belted Kingfisher.
very cool photos
What a fabulous place! The colors you found are perfectly matched. You found some great birds, too.
You go on the best adventures!! What a beautiful little boardwalk. Wish I could take that walk right now myself. Never seen jagged-edged lily pads like that.
It looks like a road to nowhere, yet you found so many beautiful things. Wonderful photos, as always!
Another great adventure Sharon. Your photos of it are really good (as always).
