It never ceases to amaze me just how GREEN and LUSH Costa Rica is. I have read that there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 plant species here which may account for the 600 species of birds that call Costa Rica home (an additional 250 species stop by on their way south each year). Some days I think they are all living and growing in my yard. About 25% of the country is protected through national parks, biological and maritime reserves and other conservation areas. Pretty impressive for such a small country. So, once again, I have filled my camera with shot after shot of flowers, red, yellow, orange, purple...no birds yet, they're still a little too fast for me but I'm working on it.
