I imagine this as a portrait of Gaia, our earth, shedding tears at the way we have treated our planet...once the Amazon forest is gone, the balance will be lost... and I don't want to be here the day the last snow leopard is gone

Spotted in the shores of the Iruyañez River, an important tributary of the Mamoré River in the great Savannas of Moxos, El Beni-Bolivia.

Este anaranjado atardecer
de garzas soñadoras,
de ríos,
de riberas rojas,
de raíces,
de memoria.
Del tiempo que no olvida,
del ansia que retorna,
del alma que cabalga
en busca de sí misma.
Mientras los perros aúllan
a los fantasmas,
los amores se desvanecen.
Colgada de la noche
que arrulla su nostalgia,
sumergí mis pupilas recordándote.

I was gifted with this gorgeous preserved rose from the Amazon Forest. It will last for years to come. It was a special surprise.
"Rio Negro" means black river. The largest left tributary of the Amazon River and the largest blackwater river in the world receives it's name after the dark tea color.
It was late afternoon in the middle of the rainy season on the amazon and the boat had settled on the rising waters of an unnamed lake where the Boto (pink dolphins) swim. The clouds were building. A storm was brewing and at that moment the lake was quiet except for the occasional sound of the surfacing of the Boto.
From Wikipedia -
The Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, near the city of Tefé, is a 22,000-square-mile (57,000 km2) reserve near the village of Boca do Mamirauá. It includes mostly Amazonian flooded forest and wetlands.
Mamirauá is recognised by the international Ramsar Convention, as a wetland of global importance, as well as part of a World Heritage Convention's natural site. It has been proposed that the Reserve should form part of a future UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon. At present, it is included in one of the Ecological Corridors to be implemented by the PPG-7 Program for the Protection of Brazilian Tropical Forests.
The reserve is the legacy and life work of Brazilian scientist José Márcio Ayres.
Mamirauá has a human population estimated in 6,306 individuals, including amazonian caboclo, Ticuna, Cambeba and Cocama ameridian groups.
Mamirauá hosts a large diversity of birds, with more than 400 species recorded, including toucans, harpy eagle, hoatzin, 15 species of parrots and, specially, aquatic birds. Two species of monkeys, the white uakari and the black squirrel monkey are endemic of this region, which is also home of other kinds of arboreal mammals such as howler monkeys, sloths, coati and collared anteaters. Land mammals are not that common as most of the territory is flooded during the wet season. During this season the pink dolphin is distributed in the flooded forest.
The most conspicuous of the numerous fish species are tambaqui, piranha and pirarucu. Mamirauá is also a perfect place to spot the Amazon river dolphins, both boto and tucuxi.
