Nature in Costa Rica

I have been trying to get pictures of nature's beauty in Costa Rica that is literally in my yard. It is not easy. Nature here is so fast! I am inspired and in love with everything I see daily.

I have a flock of parrots that fly over my house almost everyday, but I have yet to get a picture of them. They are beautiful. A brilliant green. If you know me you know how much I love birds. I have had them all through the years. I had, Lady Bird, a white Cockatiel for 10 years. I got another wonderful and smart Cockatiel, Fella, about a year ago. I was not able to bring him to Costa Rica with me, so my daughter, Meleese, took him. She and her husband love him. He loves to "wolf whistle" to get your attention. I miss him.

I have also seen a couple of Toucans, but again have not caught them on film, either. My yard is covered up in butterflies and hummingbirds. It's been difficult to get a good picture. They are like Speedy Gonzales! I will keep trying.

Here are a few shots that I have been able to catch.

Pura Vida!
