Haha thanks! And Costa Rica is beautiful, highly recommended and relatively inexpensive. Here's a cellphone shot of the Arenal Volcano to keep the thread on track

We were on the drier, coastal Pacific side with a very definite wet and dry season. Lots of wildlife which I will share of the next few weeks. Half of my photos were taken at night since a different set of fauna are awake in the evening hours, but a bit unnerving sometimes walking the jungle trails by myself in the dark every night! For example, you see a large variety of lizards during the day, but not a single one made an appearance after sunset. I suspect the Raccoon's, Margay's, Coyote's, Peccary's, Jaguarundi's, etc. have something to do with that!

Weebl · 05-24-2017, 08:41 PM

Looking forward to that. Now to start on mine.

In Costa Rica, they also seem partial to bougainvillea!

Great portrait.

Weebl · 05-25-2017, 04:29 PM

The ones we saw were looking for something other than the Bougainvillea to eat.

They actually ignored it and went looking for Ixora.

Good catch. Looks like either:

Mating rites bite
Love bite
Territory bite

I like it just fine on the rocks or with a splash of soda just fine. I got this set of copper "Mule" mugs for Christmas though, and decided to try them out. The ginger beer gives a nice bite to the cocktail, and ice cold it is very refreshing while doing some grilling out back

dcstep · 05-28-2017, 03:09 PM

I went looking for fawns yesterday, with no luck. Then I ran across this lady and it was clear that I was a little bit too early. I'll bet she's carrying twins. Her two yearlings were still with her, just out of the viewfinder:
