Guate Road Trip
We planned to make a road trip a few days ago along a pipeline inspection road which is only passable during the dry season. It runs along the base of what is called locally "Sierra del Mico" (monkey mountain). We are nearing the normal end of the wet season and rainfall had decreased so we assumed rainy season was about over....well, not quite...it was just taking a break. It resumed of course right before we headed out on our road trip.
I had expected to come back with lots of interesting orchid pics, but our little adventure got cut short by rising water.
I did get a few interesting pics. Two of a couple of very common local varieties of orchids: one which I have not ID'ed yet and the other is a flowering Epidendrum Nocturnum. A couple more of a Catasetum with "cajones grande" (really big seed pods). The final pic, the one with lots of water and no orchids, is of the river (Rio Frio) that cut our trip short.
