This photo is for Shadow Shot Sunday. It was made on a perfect, warm November day in Mexico, near the port of Playa Del Carmen, at a surreal place called Xel-Ha, pronounced “Shell Ha”.
Xel-Ha is described as an ecological nature park, but in reality, it is pretty much paradise on earth, y’all. It has a river and lagoons that you can snorkel in, ride a tube or a canoe in, or you can swim with dolphins. There are nature trails, bridges, tropical plants, hammocks to relax in, beaches so beautiful they will take your breath away, and underground water caves, also known as cenotes.
On top of all that, your admission price includes all the food you can eat and all the alcohol you can drink, and there is a different bar or restaurant around every corner. Now that’s my idea of hospitality!

That looks like a beautiful place!
Beautiful! We just had friends that just got back from a cruise – cold & wet….packed swimsuits and needed sweatshirts ~ they would have loved your luck!!
Oh, so lovely shadow shot.

Your shadow shot looks so peaceful. What a lovely sounding place to visit. I love the idea of the ‘all you can eat & drink’ included in the admission price! I’d go a bit crazy with that offer 🙂
Of course you know this is pure torture for all of us Yankees above the Mason Dixen…but we can dream…us hardy fools!

Nice palm trees, must be great to relax there.
Lovely.
I want to go!
Lush!
Very inviting.
I’ve never been to Mexico but if it looks anything like your beautiful photo, I’d definitely love to take that trip! 🙂
I’m so jealous of your photography skills. I’m strictly a point and shoot kinda girl.
Very serene photo, I can almost hear the birds 😉
the sunlight is so beautiful
