Grab a a cheap camera and go for it! I use a 5 year old Fuji s2950 and it woks ok as you see - could be faster to turn on and focus ... but you pay more for such features!

Following you now for our many shared interests :D

It's amazing that such a diverse range of organisms can grow from something as wimple as dirt. These are absolutely beautiful. I remember growing chilies in my window sill. They were strong enough to make a grown man cry. To think that a plant can pull all this energy from dirt and sunflower is mesmerizing, to say the least.
happy new year man :)

Hello Emil,
I have pondered the very same! The ability of plants (and animals) to convert whatever they consume into themselves is a constant and beautiful wonder of nature!

Following you now also :D

I imagine you could spend countless days in the jungle of Costa Rica and find new things to photograph every day... Duh!

Place looks amazing... and also full of predators.. were you armed?

icedrum (70) 7 years ago (edited)

G'day Biffy,
You are so right ... everyday something new can appear here! The other week I saw a totally new animal to me ... a Coati or Pizote, a member of the racoon family with a long mobile snout and faintly ringed tail which is nearly as long as the rest of its body! Way to fast for me to get a picture of but amazing to see!
I am armed only with a camera! There are indeed various spiders, snakes and other potentially dangerous animals to encounter here - but if one moves slowly and watches exactly where you are about to hang on to or walk ... like make sure it is a branch not a snake and don't touch the caterpillars ... you'll be fine! Much safer than walking in polluted car ridden cities :D

Hey, i totally agree about that city part, drivers can be callously careless! I would, without a doubt, take your location, over a city... granted I could sustain myself of course.

Great description of that animal, the Coati, put a nice picture of my head of what it may look like before i Google it.. i picture it scurrying across a large vine of some sort to evade you..

I imagine there may be some larger predators, in those untouched secluded jungles. I can see why or how someone might make that poor mistake with snakes..

Cheers!
