Pretty

I'm still catching up on posting my Colombia pictures. Here are some pretty things we saw.

These were the candles we had on during a blackout at my grandparents' house. This was the moment I fell in love with my 50mm lens.My grandma's chandelier during the blackout.This is what my grandparents' farm is called: The Oasis.Another picture of their house.Their gorgeous front porch.Makes me want to just lay down in that hammock. The little steps leading up to their house from the little stable where they keep the cows.Another view of their front yard.Sunset on the farm.My uncle Daniel's house. It's on the same land as my grandparents' house.This lake was about a 20 minute drive from the house.This was a beautiful road about 30 minutes from the house.The view near that road.

So many beautiful sights!

Animals

It's been awhile since I've posted any Colombia pictures. Since there are so many, I've been trying to do them in categories. Last time I posted flowers. Today I'm posting pictures of the animals we saw in Colombia.


I'm just posting a few, but if you care to see more, you can check them out HERE. There are cows, the boys riding a donkey, chickens, fish, etc.

I barely got any pictures of Diego with animals. He's not an animal lover like Celo. Celo LOVES animals. Here he is sticking his hand in the dog's mouth for the millionth time.

One night, an owl perched right outside my grandparents' house. The picture is blurry, but it was the best I could do without a flash. I didn't want to scare it away!

The Chiva. Diego loved to say "chiva".We went to a little market one day and found these turkeys just hanging out. My grandpa loves his cows. This is one of his favorites.
Every morning birds come and eat bananas right by my grandparents' front porch. Diego loved to watch them.Diego stood still long enough for me to take this picture and then ran away. He wasn't very impressed by the fish.

Flowers

As stated previously, my grandparents have a bazillion flowers at their farm in Colombia. I took way too many flower pictures to post on this blog, but if you want to see more, you can click HERE.

Roses


Orchids


Dahlias


Don't know the name of this one


And just because, here's a picture of a humming bird.


A close up.

Pictures from Colombia

Exactly one month ago, we were on a plane to Colombia. I took almost 3,000 pictures in the 9 days I was there. The exact number is 2,867. Naturally, I have a lot of favorites.

This first group I'm posting is of the many gorgeous clay pots my grandma has in front of her house. Every morning, we could just walk out the front door, sit on one of the rocking chairs, and enjoy beautiful views of all different colored flowers, arranged in these pots. I'm probably going to blow a lot of these up and hang them up in my house.

I love the last one. More to come this week.
