Taste of Costa Rica

I have traveled to nearly 40 countries across the globe, but this was my first visit to Costa Rica. Friends had invited us along for a birding excursion so naturally I had to take all of my photography gear in hopes of capturing some of the 1000+ species that call Costa Rica their permanent or temporary home. While it has a land mass that is smaller than state of West Virginia, it has two and half times as many people. The country’s climate is mild and its people are very friendly with a rich family culture with lots of industry to support this growing country. We had a great time enjoying the hospitality, food and wildlife. Below are some of the photos that I captured during our short visit, and we look forward to returning real soon so that we can capture more of the amazing wildlife of this great little country. Thanks for stopping by my website … I hope that you have enjoyed your visit, and hope you return real soon. In the meantime, I invite you to follow me on Instagram.
