Squatch got a haircut.

Just for comparison sake, this is a scruffy Sasquatch.

This is a not so scruffy Sasquatch.

We have a command: Circus Up! It means hop on top of something.

What's out there?

She just looks naked.

Trella loves her some sunshine.

Annular Eclipse at Grand Canyon!

I didn't get to take any pictures of the eclipse, but I got a couple of the sun gawkers. There are some people who are intense about this kind of thing. I thought it was neat, but I guess I'm not a fanatic. I probably wouldn't travel to Namibia to see one.

These guys are from Huntsville, TX and are flying to Australia for the Transit of Venus.

Costa Rica IV

This beach is magnetic!

People used to come, scoop up the sand and turn it into cannonballs.

Secretly freaking out.

Someone's excited!

Pristine rainforest. wow.

This looks like an agouti, we think?

Not really sure what this is, but it was munched on a bit more before we left. Plantain?

Costa Rica- part 3: Punta Uva!

one example of the bright colors people paint their houses. I'd go turquoise probably...

Our casita!

Lobster claw heliconia

Tim seems unconcerned that this spider is about to eat his face.

I love how this thing grows!

Some pretty decent seafood here

None of the restaurants were enclosed, everything is pretty much open air.

first glimpse of the ocean, first chance to walk in the sand!

Punta Uva Beach. just lovely.

Hi!

This is a sea grape- I'm pretty sure, but it's what gave Punta Uva its name.

There were people surfing on the other side of this

And this is where I was attacked by mosquitos. I counted approximately 75 bites when we got home.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts!

Check out the roots on this tree. So neat!

Ginger! Ornamental, but still!

I love the bromeliads growing in the thatched roof!
