The evening was late. The last of the sunlight fading away. A spot of light caught the tip of the cactus, Pitaya’s emerging flower.
The Pitaya is a very large crawling type of cactus. The flower very large. The fruit makes an excellent drink.

One day I had the opportunity to photograph this little baby waiting for a parent to feed it in my garden. I was able to set up the camera and tripod within five feet of my little subject. The hummingbirds are use to me being around them. I used my 200 mm lens.
The lighting was good. I was able to achieve a high shutter speed for good stop action. It was a delightful six hours of observing and capturing the hummingbird doing its thing
Two Lonely People
There was a time
Not that long ago
We shared our love
Just two lonely people
Searching for that love
That we could never have
The passion was there
The fires were burning
But in time, in time
The fires became embers
Our passion soon cooled
Two lonely people
It was a cold wet day
We kissed one last time
We parted ways
Just two lonely people
To search forever
For that one love
That can never be found
Just two lonely people
There was a time
Not that long ago
We shared our love
Just two lonely people
Searching for that love
That we could never have
The passion was there
The fires were burning
Just two lonely people
Just two lonely people
Looking for that one love
Searching forever…
I caught this scene walking the streets of Jinotega. A pack horse tied up at edge of street. The horse owner having a chit-chat with a friend.
The Peñas Blancas Massif is part of the huge Bosawas Biosphere Reserve, which is the largest natural reserve in Central America.
I created a panoramic of this scene.
Pretty Lady

Walk with me
Pretty lady
Talk to me
Pretty lady
Smile for me
Pretty lady
Hold my hand
Oh, Pretty lady
You got a way
That I will say
Do what you may
Pretty lady
Just be my lady
Let love unfold
Before we get old
Pretty lady
Just be my lady
Do what you may
Oh be my dream
Pretty lady
Bath me in your joy
Like a spring shower
You have the power
Pretty lady
Show me your heart
Wild and free
Then we will see
Pretty lady
Walk with me
Pretty lady
Talk to me
Pretty lady
Smile for me
Pretty lady
Hold my hand
Pretty lady
Hold my hand
Hold my hand…
I caught a splash of color between a group of buildings, following the highway North of La Dalia. We parked the truck at road’s edge. With the morning’s mist upon the Peñas Blancas in the background. A splash of yellow in the foreground, I captured the above composition.
