Here is a catchup pic, the last from my snowy Rocky Mountains and Ali's difficult tasked companion photo:

1/21/14

1/20/14 The Root Of It All~

1/19/14 A River Runs Through It~

Ali'sPic: Rio Lajas~ The Ultimate "Lazy River" Ride. My favorite water park.

Marci's Pic: The Roaring Fork River. Excellent fly fishing, great river rock skipping, and beautiful in the winter~

1/18/14 What's In Bloom~

1/17/14 And The Tree Was Happy~

Ali's Pic: Madre Negro or Pochote tree (their blooms look a lot a like to me!) on my morning walk. The sky was BRILLIANT today.
Marci's Pic: Leaving the girls school, driving along the Roaring Fork. The brush and trees close to the water were still wearing ice, frozen from the night before~

1/16/14 Beach and Berries~

Ali's Pic: My favorite beach finds for today. Full moon high tide resulted in a beautiful beach covered in colorful coral and shell pieces.
Marci's Pic: RoseHips. Edible, Abundant and the bits of color they offer up throughout the winter offer a natural ornament for the snow~ 

1/15/14 La luna~

Ali's Pic: An almost full moon through the Jobo tree. Not even full and you can already read a book by it.
Marci's Pic: Couldn't catch her heavy in the sky, but caught her being coy behind the clouds...and yes, bright enough to read a book by it!

1/14/14 Looking For A Sign~

Ali's Pic: This picture is funny and telling. Anyone who knows about Spanish knows that double l's are pronounced as a "y" Tortilla, Llama, etc. Obviously no one wrote down the name of the town before making the sign. 😊 Welcome to CabuYa, where nothing goes to waste!
Marci's Pic: Some of our local residents are a beautiful and thriving herd of Elk. Their migration area is basically our back yard. 

1/13/14 Birds At Dusk~

Ali's pic: Spectacularly crested woodpecker visible at dusk. I like to think he was doing a little happy dance.
Marci's Pic: We have had a family of Robin that refuse to acknowledge it is winter. This is one of the little fatties 

1/12/14 To make you laugh~

Ali's pic: "You made me do this"
Marci's Pic: LOL, I knew the rebuttal would be gloriously tropical, but I HAD to do it! Crazy Blizzard like winds and mounds of snow hit us!

1/11/14 Soaking In the View~

Ali's pic: I love this picture because it gives me the chance to show how beautiful it is here, even in the rain. The fishing boats float at high-tide and sit on the rocks at low tide. The "Mary" was floating high today. Cabuya
Marci's Pic: One of those Epic days on the mountain, fresh powder in abundance, and bluebird skies after days of snow clouds covering the mountain peaks. I love this particular dip tic with Ali as it shows our diverse means of transportation 

1/10/14 prints in the Sand/Snow~

Ali's Pic: Trails made by mussels working their way back to the ocean. What makes them do loopedy loos like that? Beautiful and fascinating. Playa Hermosa, Mal Pais
Marci's Pic: Early morning, fresh blanket of snow and the Robin refuse to leave this winter wonderland. Finding refuge under our deck, I found their trail exploring the sandbox and beyond~

1/9/14 In the Trees~

Ali's Pic: One of the hardest things to get a good and accurate picture of is a tree. They are so amazing in their depth and space - it takes a better photographer than I to truly capture it. So instead, I decided to capture pieces of it. Like this gorgeous trunk covered in mammoth pothos plants.
Marci's Pic: So with a fresh layer of snow blanketing the valley, when you walk thru the forest around here, the Aspen seem to be following where ever you go. I love their "eye's" and how they are accentuated on the grey snowy days of winter.

1/8/14 In Flight~

Ali's Pic: This little guy is a Nuthatch. He obliged me by flying a little so he could mimic the balloons taking off. I was totally surprised by the color of the inside of his wings. A friend described the Nuthatch as a bird that didn't have much to say but likes to say it a lot.:)
Marci's Pic: On our frosty morning commute to the kids school we had a gorgeous sunrise topped off by low flying hot air balloon's making their daily trek down our valley. I was really hoping to stump Ali with this one ;), but alas, she found an excellent accompaniment to it with ease!

1/7/14 Into The Shadows~

1/6/14 Transparency Among Nature~

1/5/14 Bones. Costa Rican Red Snapper & Rocky Mountain Elk

1/4/14 Shells and River Rock~

1/3/14 Flora y Flora
