"Pura Vida"
This isn't just an expression – it's a way of life here. It translates to “Pure Life” or “Simple Life"

It IS Easy Being Green!

Costa Rica has long been on my list of places to visit and photograph. In 2023 that long-held desire was realized.
We ventured from the deep, thick jungles to the refreshing, cool cloud forests and everywhere in between. We were surrounded by vibrant life at every turn, with more birds and stunning plants and flowers than anyone could count.
It was one of the most fun, sweaty, beautiful, colorful, exciting photography adventures I've ever experienced!

I Am Happy
