Reflection

I for some reason could not get my pictures to work in the timeline spreadsheet, also my computer kept trying to bump me out of the site saying it was “Not Secure” so I tried just making one on here. I chose the color red because when I think of red I think of strength and I feel like I could use some of that lately!

Living in a state forest a nature walk in search for colors was a breeze. My backyard alone looks like a majestic flower garden. This was a nice project, it felt good being able to walk around and notice things I hadn’t before while searching for my color.

Green Walk in Belize

The “Color Walks Time Lines” assignment stated to “Choose a color and then take a 20 minute walk in which you take 5-8 pictures of the color as you encounter it. Then upload the photos to Flickr and create a time line using TimeLine JS.”

This is my timeline for the Color Walks Time Line assignment. I decided to pick the color green and use pictures from the travel course I took to Belize with UNE. Though I did not take a walk, these are pictures I wanted to share with people and give them a virtual experience of what Belize looks like and the beautiful things you can see here. These pictures are ones that remind me of all the amazing times I got to experience in Belize, from snorkeling and diving in the coral reefs to hiking through the mangrove forests. Belize is full of brilliant and bright colors, and green is something that definitely stood out to me during my trip, from the green iguanas basking in the sun, the bright green cabin I stayed in, to the greenish waters being illuminated by bright yellow lights to see the manta rays jump out of the water. I hope everyone enjoys my virtual tour of a green walk in Belize! You can also view my photos in my Flickr album as well.
