Color, Color, Everywhere

I’m always taken by the colors that surround me here in Panama. It’s a bright country, both aesthetically and socially.  The people, the clothes, the music, the weather, the fruit, the buses – it’s loud and bright with colors here.  Panama has a large Caribbean influence which somehow, in my mind, adds to the sultry sexiness that seems to seep color out of it’s pores.  I love to capture these colors, both literal and metaphorical, whenever I can.

This is a tribute to some of the beauty I see around me on a daily basis. All photos were taken by me.

For this, I feel lucky to live here.

    Fantastic pics Mols, particularly digging the jars of pesto-looking cocktails in your hands and the three multi-coloured nut sacks of truth – what kind of vegetable / fruits are they? Looks like elongated pumpkins…

      Thanks you hot little potato! I actually put captions at the very end of the post, but! That pesto juice is actually piña+ginger+spinach yumminess that I concocted and the elongated fruits are Cacao pods that Juan brought back from the jungle today!

      Hahaha, you’re funny Kristin. Yes, cacao & mangos “from the jungle” are definitely very unique gifts to get and although he just picked them off a tree as he passed by, there is an element of them being exquisite & precious. Honestly, it’s all relative, right? The jungle comes with the territory here – but I can tell you that if there was a Costco there in that jungle I would have definitely asked him to also pop by for a couple things 😉
