Costa Rican extravaganza : )

So, I mentioned earlier that I started a deteriorating process since a magical date last year. Well, that also caused me to avoid a lot of things. Normally when I came home from Study Abroad trips I went rather quickly to unload photos and upload and print them. That summer I did a little, but not nearly all of the pictures. After a somewhat heartening text extravanganza today, I sat with my daughter and reviewed some of the photos from that last summer abroad 2010. Here are some of the awesome surprises~!

A Kingfisher. Do you see the fish in his mouth? Sorry about the photo, it was taken far away & shady.

OMG, what was that!!! If that's the baby...where is the dinosaur mother??? Lovely orange throat & zebra neck.

No idea what type of bird, but love the seeds it's holding in its beak.

This was the noisiest bird ever. There were flocks of them in these palms.

Not too surprising, but still my absolute favorite pic from 2010. Never saw a hummingbird at rest in her nest before.
