Color for Winter-Weary Eyes

Wednesday, February 25, 2015 19:27

Just a few photos from Costa Rica, where I am now listening to what makes the rainforest a rainforest, and hoping it clears for the midday activities.

We’ve been at Arenal Observatory Lodge for the last couple of days. This lodge sits in the shadow of a huge volcano, that plays peek-a-boo with everyone, fan-dancing in and out of clouds in the most spectacular way. And occasionally, as in the 1960′s, it explodes, makes a new cone out its side, blurps boulders and lava and kills 87 people. Arenal’s been quiet since the early ’90′s, and I felt reasonably safe sleeping on its flank, except for violent winds that kept blowing the outside furniture around.

The view from La Fortuna.

It would be hard to forget that you live beneath a volcano.

In the town of La Fortuna I found color for my winter-weary eyes in the gardens and the streets.

A painted wall held a variety of bird of paradise flower, and some tiny selaginellas.

I already like my group, merrily photographing what’s growing on a wall.

Plato tipico de Costa Rica. Food is nice here.

Don’t look for rich sauces; everything’s served up plain but tasty.

A beautiful lake along the way. Oh, how I’ve longed for green. And blue.

Everywhere we went, beautiful, glowering Volcan Arenal looked down on us, with disdain or benevolence, none could tell.

I snapped photos out the bus window as we rolled along.

and the light went golden, all of a sudden, the way the evening falls near the Equator.

Mayan beadwork from Guatemala.

Yes, I did. Three of them, the three to the right–aqua, purple, orange/green.

America could do with even a wee dram of the color that pops off every surface here.

Hope this has been therapeutic. Grabbing Internet where I can to check in and give you a hit.
