I planted it! I think it will be a nice addition to the forest garden. When the sun isn't directly shining on it - it looks black.

Spring is here!

O.k. - they've been blooming a few weeks, but it was finally warm enough to take pictures. I found a black one at the garden center yesterday. Way cool eh? I plan on planting it today. Hopefully it's a healthy one.

Front Row Seat at 8000 Feet

O.k. - now this was cool. Small 6 seater plane in the front seat - zooming along at 8000 feet.

I've flown hundreds of times in my life, but the experience is entirely different in the front seat.

I now know what it feels like to be an "angel" - floating in the clouds.

30 seconds before Night takes over

I still haven't figured out why some photo's get a lot of traffic and others get very little. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This shot got quite a bit of attention today. I actually like a different picture better.... - the one directly below - titled Sunset on the Osa.

I have 2 favorite times of day. Sunrise and Sunset. Sunrise is for bird watching and Sunset is for relaxing and reflecting. There is no better place on the planet than to watch the sunset on the Osa Penisula. At least it's the best I've found so far.... (smile)

Not sure if others will connect with this picture but I love the silouettes of the teenagers playing in the surf.

The Welcoming Committee - Corcovado Tent Lodge

Great story behind this one. The dog is from La Leona Tent Lodge but follows the man from Corcovado Tent lodge 2x daily for the 2 mile round trip from Carate Airfield to the Tent Camp. The cart transports the guest baggage.

Jerry likes this picture because of the pristine beach and that the only tracks are those made by the cart and dog.

If you'd like to see a movie of take-off from Carate - here is a link.
