Some of my best and favorite pictures from my trip to Costa Rica! Roughly in chronological order from place to place.
Peace Lodge bracelets! And the manicure I am about to ruin.
Critters gonna Crit
A dunsparce plushie and red crocheted hedgehog plushie hang out on a giant stone vase.
Hey, there's a bird in there!
I didn't get any good pics of hummingbirds, so I made do with the trees!
Moss!
From one of the many gardens we visited.
RED BANANAS
If it weren't for the tags, I would not have spotted them!
One of the five waterfalls at La Paz!
Magia Blanca! This one I recognize.
I took so many images of water features, the majority of them unfortunately got jumbled around. I wanna say this is from our hot spring adventure.
This one was from the hot springs!

I don't know what bird this is! Great curassows?
My phone was safely in my waterproof slingbag, so I took very few pics of all the hot springs we visited. I did get this one, though.
For someone that didn't use their phone all day, this shot was worth it. Perfect after a day of hot springin'. The Springs Resort
There was a garden behind one of the sodas we stopped at for breakfast. Very pretty, with a lot of flowers!
It was very soft.
A butterfly!
I wasn't fast enough to get up-close pictures of the wind turbines, but they were still magnificent.
One of the sodas we stopped at was closed for remodeling, but the view and traditional drinks more than made up for it.
There's a snake in there!
When we stopped for gas, we came across this guy in the station!
That was more painful than it looked...
My first look out into the Pacific Ocean!
Reparito House was delicious! Everything was. First meal by the beach. It felt good.
This is the mimosa tree! As in, actually has "mimosa" in its scientific name. Hey cuz!
Eh, we were close enough to playa Conchal. Saw lots of cool rocks and shells!
THIS IS A COOL ROCK
The sunset on playa Flamingo
A rainbow! On the way to Monte Verde.
Can you spot the Leaf Frog? (It helps that I zoomed in. We needed the tourguide's help in finding one!)
shrooms
A tarantula was in there! Trust me.
Trees, and water features
A tree in the process of being Strangled. I became weirdly obsessed with these. Like how I was overly concerned with quicksand or Bermuda Triangles when I was a child.
Yet another tree, almost strangled.
One of my favorites from our cloud forest tour.
The cloud forest canopy with rays of light shining through.
A wider shot of Sun Canopy
Now THIS was cool! The Strangling Fig vine had completely taken over the original tree; that was all that was left. They added rope holds so you can climb to the last hanging bridge!
The first thing to greet us at Valle Escondido.
Monte Verde has some of my favorite sky pictures. It was so blue that morning!
Valle Escondido had some breathtaking views!
I think I saw Isle San Pia!
We flew over Florida. Is that a roller coaster down there?
