For Sensational Snap Society, week 1
Week 1 assignment: Document your day. I decided to do a Saturday rather than a work day though my morning always starts with a cuppa and the computer, either at home or at work or both! Saturday was no different.
The Legend of the Dogwood
In Jesus time, the dogwood grew
To a stately size and a lovely hue.
'Twas strong & firm it's branches interwoven
For the cross of Christ its timbers were chosen.
Seeing the distress at this use of their wood
Christ made a promise which still holds good:
"Never again shall the dogwood grow
Large enough to be used so
Slender & twisted, it shall be
With blossoms like the cross for all to see.
As blood stains the petals marked in brown
The blossom's center wears a throny crown.
All who see it will remember me
Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree.
Cherished and protected this tree shall be
A reminder to all of my agony."

We took a shore excursion through the cruise line. We took a bus about an hour and a half outside Belize City to the New River, and then a boat ride down the river for about an hour and a half until we reached the Lamanai Mayan ruins.
