Morning Walk - Costa Rica

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

It was a glorious morning in Costa Rica, the hot dry season is with us now. The sun is wonderfully intense, the usual cloud cover has all but disappeared! Temperature here today is 29 Centigrade and Relative Humidity is only 76%, which is quite low for this area.
        The jungle is more quiet than usual with the changing of the season, new sounds emerging and new birds and whales arriving after their migrations. I live next to a tropical Fjord which is the mating ground for whales from both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, so we are blessed to get twice the whale activity! I frequently surf with multiple whales and numerous other tropical wonders!
        Papayas are coming into season as you see in the last picture ... the fruit here is incredible and plentiful, growing freely in jungles and hedgerows for all to share. Truly natures bounty! Whoever said: "there is no such thing as a free lunch" ... had not sampled or was not accounting for the pleasures of the simple fruit and vegetables nature provides!

There is nothing beautiful than nature

A very interesting post @icedrum! Your post looks very beautiful and also has beautiful views. You are smart in taking pictures so it looks very beautiful..

Thank you rolasoglja :D

Whatt that's amazing that you live there! It's been around 14 degrees here in North Carolina, and it has been my dream to visit Costa Rica in the winter. I am not meant for the cold weather hahah. Can you point me to any resources about the best (i.e. most authentic, inexpensive, fun) way to visit?

Hello Bryan
wonderful to meet a fellow musician! - i DO know a wonderful place to stay... a GREAT friend of mine who is a local Costa Rican (who speaks superb English also!) has just opened a BEAUTIFUL Rancho retreat... very authentic - cost effective and highly recommend! email [email protected]

Following you now also :D

Thank you so much! This is the plan for this time next year..all thanks to some Steem ;)

I also imagine the chirping of the birds, the grinding of the crickets and the tenacious work of the ants. You really live in a heavenly place. regards
@icedrum

Gracias Felix,
You are quite correct - the sounds of the jungle are an ever changing wonder!

Lovely to meet you :D

Costa Rica is on the bucket list. I am so jealous of you right now. We have had below zero temperatures here in the Northeast (USA) for about a week now. I haven't seen vegetation in months. Haha.

Hi Jodie,
You gotta get here - It is like the garden of Eden!

contact [email protected] for amazing artist retreat just opened! The owner is a very dear friend and wonderful being! :D

I am saving the info. How long have you been there and when is the best time to visit?

Inspiring nature. Thanks for your nice share and photos :) @icedrum

Thank you purpleangel :D

I see someone having a good time. Especially been close the mating area of whale. Its something i neee see ans take lots of pictures. Though in my country we got lost of pawpaw so i feel what i need from you next is giving us pics of those whale and sure video of you surfing. So we surf along😁...enjoy your time🖒

Thank you so much clarkk!
As it happens i do plan to vlog some surfing and wildlife very soon - stay tuned :D

Thank you for the pictures they are beautiful as always
I want to do morning walks too but problem is I don't have time for it thru the week

Hello woutersbit
I know it is not easy sometimes ... maybe get up before dawn?? This may also be a terrible idea - depending on your lifestyle/schedule - haha :D

I don't like getting up early but definitely trying it
