Guatemala - one giant garden

Guatemala is one giant garden. It is beautiful.  The brilliant blue of the sky, the awesome billowing clouds with the purest of whites, the trees, the flowers blooming here and there and everywhere.  A rainbow of delights.

This past Saturday – September 12th. while walking one of the trails in a wild and natural forest preserve at the edge of the city, I took these photos.  There are so many that could be publish here today but this posting will limit itself to “only a few” seen along the paths in this native forest.

Enjoy a few photos of the “eye candy” of Guatemala.
