We live next to a river and it’s a really beautiful place. I never get tired of going there with my camera! We are in the rainy season now and everything is incredibly green and lush.
The water levels are high at this time of year.
Water swirls around a fallen tree.
Small debris gets caught on larger debris in the water, and vines hang down from the trees above looking for new places to grow roots.
A large Jesus lizard watches me from his perch on the debris.
Another Jesus lizard is spotted in the logs on the river bank.
So much green!
The water is definitely moving along.
This large tree on the river bank is only one of many large trees, some much more massive than this one.
A pretty vine climbs up another large tree trunk.
The water rushing over the rocky areas makes quite a bit of noise. We can always hear it from our house, especially now when there is so much water.
Lots of water!
The water swirling around the river bank catches the blue and white of the sky.
I love the reflections in the water.
The woods are green and everything is growing.
Every possible space has things growing on it, like these ferns and orchids growing on tree branches.

Beautiful pictures of the river and wildlife! Do you have a mosquito problem with all the moisture?

Thank you! We have surprisingly few mosquitoes. I see a few now with all this rain, but the rest of the year we almost never see one. We have tons of birds, and I noticed when I went in the backyard at dusk today there were lots of bats flying around, and I’m sure that helps a lot. Many houses don’t have any screens, or even windows, something unthinkable in any other place I lived in the US. I think mosquitoes are a problem in some other parts of Panama, but they aren’t here.
