I really enjoy picking lilies to enjoy in a vase.

Peruvian Pelican off the coast of Valparaiso, Chile.

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...

The setting sun lights up a passing thunderstorm, as ambient light from a brilliant Wyoming sky illuminates an empty potash train powered by a trio of Union Pacific EMD SD40-2s climbing Peru Hill west of Green River on July 5, 1988.

It was an early morning start and the low clouds continued to pass over, at times completely blanketing the lost city of the Inca's but fortunately there were also moments like this one.

Gorgeous red flowers also known as Alstroemeria. These are in the front garden.

One of the amazing things about Machu Picchu is its location. Five valleys on one side, the Amazon forest starts. Five valleys on the other leads to the high Andes. This is the view as we were climbing up the Machu Picchu mountain.

Los Uros

Islas Flotantes de los Uros - Lago Titicaca.

Puno - Perú.

 

Los Uros construyen sus islas a base de "Totora" (Especie de junco abundante en el Lago Titicaca o Titikaka). Aunque no es su idioma originario, en la actualidad hablan el idioma "Aymara", Quechua y Español. Viven de la pesca y el turismo.

Today's theme is Machu Picchu in Peru. More than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist destination in Peru. A symbol of the Incan Empire and built around 1450AD, Machu Picchu was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Peru. Machu Picchu.

The Peruvian Lilies from my Christmas flowers.

 

If you have any of the Lily family of flowers in your house and also have a cat(s) beware. They are highly toxic / lethal to cats and they only need to ingest a tiny amount to kill them.

Hymenocallis narcissiflora.

 

A new flower is opening each day in my garden.

Amazing how the Inca's built this city and even more amazing the Spanish didn't find it. Wonderful to be there...20160804_Peru 2016_3159
