Costa Rica

 Roseate Spoonbills in Torteguero

 One of the many butterflies we saw that actually stayed still long enough to get a picture

 Many iguanas came to visit us each evening

 My wish to swim in an infinity pool.  Arenal Volcano in the background

 The oxcart is the symbol of Costa Rica.

 An inquisitive macaw checking us out (on the Pacific)

Snowman Month

I don't know if it's the grayness and rain of winter or what but I'm always sad when we put the Christmas lights away, as everything seems so drab. Several years ago, I chose to use all my snowmen to decorate for the month of January.  Here are just a few of them to give you a flavor of what our house looks like during this time.  Yesterday they all went back into storage (my snowmen hibernate) and the sun is brightly shining so spring is near.
