The scruffiest guard beast (with the softest fur) took very snuggly care of us these 18 years. We will still look for him every time we hear a mischievous rustle.

Of all the ecosystems I encountered in Costa Rica, the most impressive were the cloud forests.
Due to high elevation (500-4,000m asl), they're often swirled in thick cloud, creating off-the-scale epiphytic abundances.
The richest expression of life on Earth I have ever seen. 🌎

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
