Solar array is doing what it should!

When I came back to Costa Rica I was all gung-ho about the solar I had installed for electricity for my cabin. However, the panels did not get as much sun as I thought they would. They were in shade a good part of the day. So we moved the panels into a more sunny location. It's amazing what a little sun can do.

A baby Boa






Just a quick post of a baby Boa Constrictor. I saw this on the way back from shopping. Just on the side of the road, we watched him for about a minute, then decided to get out the camera. Just as I was starting to take the shot he or she decided enough is enough I'm out of here, feel blessed to get the shot. Also, a random shot of the flower that is blooming which I watch the humming birds come to on a regular basis, just right there when I look up from my chair while reading. And a pic of my place in the jungle. fincabellavista.net

Gringo Domingo! (American Sunday)



I was able to go down to the river on the north side of the property fincabellavista.com for a swim.The first time I'd been down to Rio Piedras Blancas. It's a much bigger river than on the south side of the property, Rio Bellavista. The last part of the decent to the river was almost straight down. It paid off with a great access to the river, small pools and such to explore. The sun was right on the river for a short period, nice start to the day.
