Panamanian Paradise

water lilies…floating, dreamy, sublime—
Monet’s buoyant brush strokes blend
on the Chagres River

I love it that you love Monet; I despise his works myself, but we all have our own ideas. I need brights and neons; I am not impressed by redundant dullness.

In Panama, climbing into the dugout canoe, I felt like I was in a National Geograpic magazine! A true dream and danger too…lol
