Ajijic is a flower safari—color peeks from behind fences, climbs up walls, and bursts from rooftops when you least expect it. In spring, flowering trees start popping across town: shock-yellow, then party-favor purple, and finally flame-tree red—with plenty of orchid pink and bottlebrush red in between. A few spots concentrate the color, making it easy to take a relaxed loop with your camera. You’ll find plenty at eye level, but don’t forget to look up into the branches—some of the best frames are overhead. One choice you’ll make right away is focal length: do you want a single bloom isolated against a creamy, blurred background, or do you want the full “Ajijic bouquet” with the street, rooftops, and sky included? You will be impressed with the variety of colors and shapes. If your subject is stationary, you might want to consider taking your focus off auto and change it to manual focus for extra sharp results.
