Flamboyan - Royal Poinciana Photo Album

I have to admit, this is the first time that I've been actively searching for a particular tree to photograph.

Fortunately, I didn't have to drive too far. This selfie picture with the tiny mini Flamboyan tree in the background is located outside my friend Triumph motorcycle repair shop near Combate Beach. Amazingly, the other images of Flamboyan trees are located not far from each other.

Some images of  Flamboyan trees are located in Las Marias, Isabela, Mayaguez and Cabo Rojo. 

Hopefully I can redirect my friends to this post if they are interested seeing some of the Flamboyan-Royal Poinciana trees I was able to photograph during this trip. Enjoy!

Holy Cow

Can you spot the cow in the middle of the river on the first two images? I am not sure if I posted these pictures before or not.

They were taken one day that I was driving deep in the mountains from Las Marias to visit a little town called Lares. I noticed the (Rio Blanco) River and stopped on the bridge to take a few pictures.

I wasn't happy with the images I took, and by the time I went back to the Jeep to change lenses, a cow appeared out of nowhere and walked to the big black rocks on the river to drink water, looking directly at me.

I wasn't expecting to see it there, but I was glad I caught the cow walking along the river. The timing was perfect because the cow added a unique perspective to the photograph. Enjoy!
