Spring in Coloma MI 2013

Trilliums in Kathy's Wood's

Cherry blossoms in field in back.

My granddaughter, Ashley, sent Flat Stanley to visit the yarn shop and learn to knit. Three of my fellow knitters Elaine, Claire and Jean, are helping Stanley.

La Selva Pictures

Our guide, Reimer

Home - Zompopa 4

Almost to Zompopa 4

An eco system along the path.

Beautiful Haliconia in the forest.

The second pic is our temporary home, Zompopa 4. Zompopa means leaf-cutter ant and we could watch them from our deck out back. Also, we saw many birds!

The first pic is of our guide, Reimer. As part of you stay at La Selva you get a 3 hrs walk with a guide. Very, very interesting.

The other pics I took on my 1.2 km hike to get to the dining room. I feel like I earn my meals.

Morning in La Selva

A few breakfast companions here at La Selva Biological Research Center in Serapaqui, Costa Rica. It's very hot and humid here with lots of Biologists. Talked to a butterfly researcher yesterday, a dung beetle specialist today.

Morning in Uvita

The bag is an example of the weaving of the Boracu Indigenous People- it makes a great knitting bag.

The other picture is a view from the pool of the villa we are staying at in Uvita, Villas de las Aves.  A beautiful place to stay, just up the mountain from the Pacific coast which is one beach after another here in Costa Rica.

At Corcovado National Park Costa Rica

Corcovado National Park on the southern coast of the Pacific Ocean. We had to take a boat to get there...Beautiful!

At Wilson Gardens we went on nature walk with Ariadna. It's a beautiful and restful place. Wonderful birds and beautiful flowers and plants.
