Poui

Poui trees on the mountain in April

Yes I'm late shut up. I'm now getting the chance to really go back and edit these old photos to post them up. The rest will probably end up on Facebook or something. This pic was edited down a bit from this one. This main photo has the distant waterfall on the right side - if you squint you can probably see its outline under the dip in the mountain. Too lazy to edit more. Oh and this view is from the Maracas Royal Road (where I stand to get a taxi) out to civilization.



The Trinidad "spring" time was wonderful this year and I'm sorry I just didn't have time to just sit outside or walk around and get some really nice photos. It extended to what June or something when the Savannah was really gorgeous with those yellow poui. 

These photos were taken back n the 40's or somethin gby my great grandad, SK Lai. Thanks to my cousin Jo who carefully archived his slides. These amazing shots are around the Queen's Park Savannah I've edited the colour and such however I could. He was a careful meticulous photographer and I've been told by someone who knew him, that he would just sit there and wait for that perfect time to fire the shot.

So next year for sure I shall be attempting to get all the nice flowers shot. I love pretty flowers and trees! This year felt wonderfully fresh. I don't know if it was just me, but the season was fantastic. I really hope I can spend some more time outside and really just take it in, be patient, not just with nature and the camera, but my own inner being. It's something I am carefully honing. To slow down is a great process and full experience of life. I'm starting to enjoy my life more and more now, and also since I have the time, I can carve it just the way I want it.
