Ballunar Festival, Houston

We are at the Ballunar Festival in Houston selling Mariposa's butterflies. The first night had a great little show with the hot air balloons.

Atmospheric shot with an old-time feel on Half Moon Caye near The Blue Hole. Photograph was taken from an observation platform looking over a nesting area. The white birds are Red-footed Boobies.

Conch Shells in Belize

While we were on Caye Caulker, Conch season opened (Oct 1st). The local variety is the Queen or Pink Conch. While walking along the beach the first day, we came across some fishermen and stopped to talk with them. These are some some of the shells they had already removed the snail from.
