Frida and I took a stroll on the San Juan Cosala Malecon today and found these beauties growing by a makeshift beach lean-to restaurant. So vivid against all the paler colors. More photos of that stroll in a later blog.

Today when I went out to the front garden, the hibiscus bush had so many blooms, each at a different stage of development, that it looked like a staged demonstration for a class in plant development. The blooms at every stage were so uniquely beautiful, that I took a few dozen shots, almot all of which turned out. Since I’m going to be traveling over the next few days and I’m not sure how many flowers I’ll see, I’ve decided to show you one or two of the blooms a day for the next few days. They won’t be in any particular order––just what catches my eye each day as I dip into my cache of beauties.

If anyone knows what flower this is, I would be happy to know! This is my 1800th post!!! Is there anyone who has seen them all? If so, I’d like to hear from you. Or from anyone who hasn’t!!!

The most wonderful thing about bougainvilleas is often their surroundings. They can obscure faults, serve as security and also as home to many creatures: possums, lizards, iguanas and my own cat. Here are some beautiful places that bougainvilleas exist in La Manzanilla:

The wild tumble of bougainvillea actually forms a wall in my friend’s open-walled house. She lives about as outside as it is possible to live without actually living outside. Later on this week, I’ll show you her house, studio and art. I love the wildness of these intermixed vines, the shadows and the colors. Here’s another one for you, Cee.

That’s Just Cheating!
Yes, sure. I’ve done a lot of playing around with this image but I don’t consider that cheating, do you? So what could it be that I’ve done that is slightly unethical?
If it isn’t perfectly obvious from this unedited original shot,
then perhaps it will be in this closeup. Honest, folks, I didn’t notice when I took the original shot. I was working fast and just going up and down the street taking shots of flowers. It wasn’t until I got into the eidting phase that I notice what was wrong with this particular bunch of flowers!!! Cee’s said it before. I need to slow down. Perhaps after the art walk!
