Beautiful flowering tree!

This morning we drove to our friends’ (Wanda & Randy) house in the mountains near Las Lajas, (Panama) and joined them for an invigorating 5km morning hike. Up and down the winding trails and hills, we saw some beautiful waterfalls along with spectacular views!

When we left their place we had to drive up the road in order to turn around. I drove farther than necessary just to see what little towns were up the mountain. It didn’t take long for us to reach La Laguna de San Carlos – which is apparently a great bird-watching area. While we weren’t up for bird-watching today, I did take a moment to scan the area and take in its beauty. I spotted this tree with these beautiful red flowers as shown in my photo. The photo was taken with only the sky as the background and it took my breath away when I loaded it onto my computer. There wasn’t too much difficulty in deciding my photo of the day! Hope you enjoy!
