"What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered." Ralph Waldo Emerson
We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful morning at Sweet Song in Belize. Delight sprouted from all angles: rainbow-colored Aracaris plucked nuts from the Governor's Plum tree; energetic dogs tussled along meandering paths and iguanas darted through the grass. Cloudy skies prevailed. But the air was warm and laced with exotic smells. There were pretty flowers and tall, blooming trees. It was January and there wasn't any snow. Nature was nurtured; our souls replenished.

Beautiful photos :) Thanks for hosting.
Beautiful photos from a tropical paradise!
What wonderful photos! I love looking down the tunnel...so to speak! And the birds are beautiful, especially the one next to the hot sauce!
Just gorgeous! And what a coincidence - I was at the Botanical Gardens only last week here in Sweden.
Extraordinary images [if you ever want to share you blog that has birds, consider linking up at I'd Rather B Birdin' - linking opens on Saturday Texas USA noon and stays open for linking up 'til Thursday.]
I'm here visiting from my personal blog and Our World Tuesday.

Love that horse's expression! Such a nice bunch of pictures, Sharon. And (blush) I'm thinking that you deserve every accolade that exists! :-)
A visit to the botanical garden is always a great experience as our souls "get replenished".
Love your photos of the birds and flowers.
Spectacular shots! I don't think I've ever seen most of the flowers you photographed.
Thanks for hosting! :-)
Love to look. I hope to go to Belize someday.
Makes me wish I could hop on a plane for Central America.
Cute furry belly looking bird, and the flowers so pretty. Thanks for the travel through your photography. Have a happy week.
I'd love to go to Belieze!! Looks so exotic!
Sharon - this brings back fond memories of Belize. Tropical flowers, birds and the ever-present dogs! Thanks for putting together a lovely post for the Mosaic Monday community!
You captured a lot of amazing scenes. That red flower with the space tentacles tickled me the most. :-)
Loving your photos so much with their colors on my wintry day :)
