Cheeky Bum Looker! I can’t help but think of that old SNL quote when I see this picture. I got pretty close to this lizard and I think the look on his face shows that he wasn’t thrilled I was there!

The flight from San Jose to Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula was booked as a simple way to get from point A to point B. Views like this meant it could have just as easily been a sightseeing trip!

The weather can change quickly in Costa Rica. I only had a few minutes to capture the sky like this. Moments before it was completely overcast, and not long after it started raining and kept raining all night.

Not San Jose, CA, but San Jose Costa Rica. Most people had gone to sleep, but a few cars were on the street to provide me with some light trails.

I saw lots of monkeys in Costa Rica, Capuchin, Howler and Squirrel Monkeys. Some of them were even nice photos, but most were not that unique. A trip to a restaurant with a patio that was high up in the trees meant a different angle. The monkeys were up in a tree but still below where I was, and looking up at me instead of the other way around.

I just got back from Costa Rica, and I hate to admit it but I took way too many photos. A few made it worth the effort. It rained during the day which we didn’t appreciate at the time, but at night it meant that this tree frog was out and about. A local showed us where to look. It took some searching around in the dark, actually more listening than looking, but there he was waiting. I found what I was looking for, I hope he found the insects he was looking for.
