Day 15 and sunset on Dominicalito.
Next Monday, we’ll be back in the states. The sun will rise, but it won’t be accompanied by an owl that sounds like a whinnying horse, howler monkeys growling, soaring vultures, undulating waves, and capuchin monkeys scurrying around our rental. We learned that last year’s baby capuchin with only a half tail is thriving. Last year, his elders would wait on the edge of the treetops to ensure he completed his jumps. Capuchins are so smart.
Follow our feet…
Day 16 and a kiskadee atop an ancient petrosphere. More on those later…
Day 17 at Ventanas!
Day 18 at Whale’s Tale!
Day 19 and a Praying Mantis curled and ready to punch.
Day 20
Day 21. We enjoyed another successful year with sunset sails. Mahi and mayhem, old people style. Click to visit Mosaic Monday.
Stay tuned for our last week in Costa Rica! Then, of course, the rest of the story will unfold until we return in 2025. 🙂
What a fabulous place to spend time! I know you had fun and the weather looks wonderful. A bit chilly here in FL lately!
Looks like you’ve had a wonderful vacation! We’re in the midst of snow-melt just now – I prefer the warmer weather in your photos!
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-beautiful-basilica-in-paray-le.html
Beautiful photos. Costa Rica is a beautiful place to visit. I enjoyed your photos, cute Kiskadee and the flowers are lovely. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Your Costa Rica trip looks very laid back compared to our recent birding trip there. We were up before sunrise every day looking at birds and kept going until the sun went down, mostly. It’s really a stunning country however you choose to enjoy it!

Marvelous photos and narration!
Such a captivating read, Sharon. Your photos are incredible, as always.
Happy Monday!
What a vibrant glimpse into your Costa Rican adventure! Your descriptions are so evocative, I can practically hear the whinnying owl and feel the warmth of the Pacific sunset on my skin. Are these clicked using your new camera and zoom lens? Excellent shots!
Exactly what I need to see on a chilly day like today! Delightful.
It looks like you’re having a marvelous time.
What an awesome time and place, seems like a lot of fun, and love all the nature pics

Brilliant sky.
That water-filled cave looks a bit spooky, but everything else looks wonderful. The capuchin monkeys sound interesting!
Your beautiful photos and post make me get more excited about my return visit to Costa Rica in March. Thanks.

Have a wonderful weekend, hugs by Heidrun
Dear Sharon, today I finally took time for your Costa Rica posts. Lots of wonderful nature and wild animals and a nice cat encounter in the grocery store in Uvita. Sigh, these are wonderful views – and I’m so happy that the capuchin monkey is thriving! I fondly remember our own CR journey.
All the best, Traude
Time to come home, you are having too much fun. I love your sense of humor.
Coming home already? Well, at least it’ll be warm here when you arrive. We are having an unusually warm winter. Beautiful photos. That cave with the water running through is amazing!
