This was taken in Belize (a country near Mexico) while I was snorkeling.

I love books, and I love technology, but I don't want to see the latter overwhelm the former. I just think books are meant to be pages you turn, not screens you scroll through.

Wow, those sharks are pretty cool! :)

*sigh* I've never seen a shark before, or at least not in person. :(

I wasn't afraid because they're only nurse sharks; they don't attack humans.  But all sharks have a certain...aura.  They feel ancient, almost prehistoric.  I know that sounds crazy, but they are a very strange animal.

I was snorkeling.  I have a waterproof casing for my camera and it works like a charm!

The rope is attached to the black canister of fish food.

And yes, the black and blue fish are really pretty.

Thanks for commenting!
