Continuing with my pictures from Xcaret I would like to share a few shots of the park's wildlife. This is just a small taste of what we saw. Maybe I'll show you a few more tomorrow.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

Going back to our vacation photos I came across a few more shots of the coatis I shared last week. Like I said before, it's not a good idea to try to pet or touch a wild animal. So don't do what I did. But that being said they were very friendly and didn't seem to mind the interaction. Of course the peanuts helped.

For today's view I am shifting back to Mexico and am sharing a few seagull photos I shot while spending time on the beach. Our resort, Vidanta Riviera Maya, gave us direct access to the beautiful Caribbean Sea. What can I say except this was literally paradise on earth. I hope to return one day.
Even the birds are happy.

Once again I am skipping a Throwback Thursday photo and am instead sharing some more vacation pictures from Mexico. I still have lots to show you!
In addition to the abundant wildlife we saw Mexico offers lots of plant life too. Cancun and Riviera Maya are very much a tropical jungle area and as such have some vegetation we don't see here at home. And of course there are similarities too. Like morning glories for instance. We saw lots and lots of morning glories. But something we don't see around here is palm trees and coconuts. We saw a lot of them down there too. And now you can have a look.

Of all of the wildlife we saw in Mexico we probably saw iguanas the most. They were literally everywhere. Didn't bother anyone and they certainly were not aggressive in any way but some of them were quite large. I addition to the iguanas there were smaller lizards too. We even had one in our suites master bath. I tried to get a picture but he took off too fast.
Today's photo is one of the bigger lizards. This was along one of the walkways.
Left undisturbed the iguanas would stay in the same place for long periods of time. I guess they just kind of hang out and wait for food to come to them.

It doesn't matter what beach you visit or where it is, Seagulls are universal. The seagulls I saw in Mexico do look a little different than the ones at the Jersey shore but they are basically the same. Take today's photo for instance. This could be anywhere. The real mystery is what are they looking at? I sure didn't see anything. But they were both looking.

So we're walking along one of the many wooden walkways at our resort in Mexico one day last week and I was of course taking pictures. As usual Kim was ahead of me when she suddenly calls me to hurry up, and have my camera ready. I catch up to her and this is what I see.
These are coatis. Around here we only see them in zoos but in a warmer tropical climate they are everywhere. What happened is Kim like I said was ahead of me and decided to take out a pack of peanuts to snack on. Well as soon as the wrapper crinkled these guys came running. I guess they are used to being "treated" to the occasional snack. And yes at my coaxing Kim shared a few peanuts with them.
Little beggars!
Also, filed under the heading of don't try this, I did pet them. They were very soft and very friendly. Again, probably because they are used to people. But they are wild animals related to the racoon family and may bite. In other words don't do something stupid just because I did :)

I have finally had a little time to scan through my pictures from Mexico on my DSLR's memory card. While I mostly made snapshots with my phone, after all it was our vacation, I still have a lot of "regular" shots to process. Anyone who knows me knows that I shoot mainly landscape and wildlife. And I have no shortage of either. While wildlife in Mexico can differ from here at home there is also a lot of similarities. And today's photo is something that I can see almost every day. A woodpecker.
Being shot handheld I think this turned out well. And he wasn't close either. I shot this at full zoom. Luckily there was a lot of sunlight so I was able to use a decent shutter speed. I believe this is a red belly woodpecker but may be incorrect.

Today in lieu of a throwback post I am sharing some snapshots from one of the excursions we booked during our trip to Mexico. These are from a place called Xcaret. Xcaret is what they call an ECO Park and is located about 25 minutes from our resort. During our day there we swam down an underground river, took a boat ride that was also underground, saw beautiful beaches and even took in a show or two.
Here is just a sampling of the photos I shot that day. I'll be sharing more soon.
