Acapulco Botanical Garden: Trip Down Memory Lane with Friends

highlyfunctional (43)in #garden • 6 years ago

If you followed me before as @lily-da-vine you know that I shared just about every detail of my life for almost 3 years, in real time as it happened. I still capture as much as I used to but am caught putting my security over my need to share. Lucky me I have a backlog of things to share in random order mainly. For the record, if I share something in Acapulco or Mexico City, you can bet your ass I've moved on from there at least temporarily.

These photos are from a trip to the botanical garden in Acapulco I took with my best friend a few weeks after the murder when I was still in hiding.

Most of my time in the months after the murder I was in hiding. I'd come out into public for things I need or occasionally for trips like this which were both fun and filled with anxiety.

No where near as many photos were taken as I didn't have my camera, only a 13 megapixel phone camera to capture my memories during that time. I didn't realize how much of a photographer I was until I had no camera.

And of course I couldn't help but do whatever I can to capture the water lilies, which were in full bloom for the first time while I was there.

These crazy looking seed pods are from the achiote tree and are prized for their use as an scarlet dye and for a flavoring agent. Here you'll see a lot of sauces and such flavored with it!

Stay tuned I've got lots more to share. Thanks for the love and support and if you found this valuable please don't forget to upvote!
