With all of the stressful things going on in the world right now, I decided to slow things down a little bit. Phoenix Rising and I went down to Costa Rica a couple weeks ago for some R&R. We took a lot of photos of some gorgeous wildlife. My own camera is humble. It’s an Android S23 Ultra but it seems to take some very good photos and does some very good processing. We started out on the Osa Peninsula and ended up at Monteverde Cloud Forest.
