“Busted!” Oh, how great it is to have the camera ready for action! Z
Journey with me to Nicaragua for WordPress’s Weekly Photo Challenge of GREEN. The following images were taken on a drive from the Managua airport to the petite area of Limon, where I stayed at Casa Rosada for one month in November of 2010. The landscape, lush green from a lengthy rainy season, provided numerous photo ops along the way.

Enjoy the images, which helps illustrate that Latin America is not as dangerous as many are led to believe!

Lovely greens! Wow, those peppers; magnificent colours with a hint of red!
si. those were in nicaragua, but there’s a farming area near where i live, and peppers are one of their crops. i love seeing the burlap bags of peppers stacked in the back of a pickup!

More than the greens, which are lovely, these photos are interesting because of the human interest feature in them.

How funny that we BOTH thought of Nicaragua for green!! I love it! Great photos, as always!

Each one of these is better than the one before.. Life in all it’s beauty even in everyday things.. Green is such a refreshing color 🙂
you’re right; green is very soothing. i should consider painting some area of my house green! a blue/green alkaline color!

Amazing photos of a truly beautiful part of this earth.
Dangerous??? Fabulous!!!!
so very true; there’s danger in every country, especially the cities.. one just has to be smart when traveling in unfamiliar areas.
glad you enjoyed the trip to nicaragua via wordpress!

Love all your greens, especially the cartloads of bananas and the peppers. 🙂
thanks! the markets of the tropics are so beautiful! i never get tired of admiring them or taking photos of them!

loved the photos.., especially the siesta…Ecuador during the rainy season..:)
Oh yes, Ecuador’s rainy season is near; I intend to buy a pair of mud boots like the fishermen wear. What color do you think I should chose? White? Black? Yellow? One of each?
The muni’s dozer pushed away all of the lastre (sp?) before they did that river-rock work and now there will be a muddy mess once the rains begin. Place you bets, do you think it will get replaced in this lifetime?!!!!

These photos are inviting and they remind me of the countryside where my dad grew up… All the fertile land and foods… memories. 🙂
ah, tap into nostalgic memories of our family root, and sweet feelings engulf us and transport us back in time.
when i smell just-turned soil after the first rain, i am again back in the missisippi delta of my childhood!

Can’t beat that first one 😀
I had no idea Nicaragua had bullock carts as well!
Nicaragua is a paradise of amazing greens. Beautiful. It reminds me that the simplest things in life and around us are the ones that makes our heart jump for joy.
ah, but so many people have not figured that out yet! thanks for your support and feedback
