If I had to describe Peru with one word, it would have to be VIVID! (Amazing comes to mind, but vivid is probably more descriptive). Moyobamba is so colorful! It is known as the city of Orchids, but I think it should be the city of colors…because, as you will see, the birds really add a lot to the scenery! Here are some of my favorite colors from my trip.
This macaw was a permanent resident at Tingana – one hour by car + one hour by boat from Moyobamba.
This golden-tailed sapphire entertained me at the orchid farm in Moyobamba.
I love the orange “hairdo” of the Roufous-crested Coquette
So many shades of green!
In my host’s backyard!
Blue-headed parrots that live with my hosts.
Rio Mayo
Very cool fungi…and arthropod! Look at the white feet and “knees”
El Morro de Calzada
Amazing Orchids
peek-a-boo
Colorful Murals in Lamas
Even silhouettes are vivid!
Thanks for sharing your pics. They make me reflect on the magnificence of God’s creation!! What an awesome God we serve.
Just fabulous colors – and photography!
