in Puerto Rico, it would be hard to say which was more amazing...
What do you think?
As with most tropical islands, the water's color was intense- in a pretty way. The shades went from deep blue to aquamarine to various blue/greens. Talk about inspiring...
My favorite- a natural color gradient in the sea.
The interior portion of Puerto Rico is largely forested hills. In the midst of the narrow, winding roads up into the jungle, there are tropical flower farms that manage to grow amazing foliage and flowers. The folks who work these farms are devoted to their land and have to love what they do- it's hard work.
I apologize- I do not know the correct names of most of the flowers and plants.

Coconut palm's own fireworks!
I felt so fortunate to have seen nature in such a manner,
so totally different from what I normally see.
