Costa Rica is a surfer’s paradise and I found this scene one afternoon on the beach in Tamarindo.

The wonders of nature in Costa Rica are endless, like this Monarch butterfly in the forest.

I did an eight day horseback trip in Costa Rica, seeing some amazing places and riding some insane trails. But, the day we road on the endless beach of Matapalo for miles was a highlight. The low tide created a mirror on the sand and reflected the few clouds and blue sky. I stayed back to get the other riders in the frame for scale and to tell a story.                                      Limited Edition Print.

A hike in the rain forest of Monteverde in the early morning with the mist in the air, is like a walk in a fairy, magical land. I love the greens and soft light. This is where travel, culture, and art meet.

As part of my eight day horse back riding trip through Costa Rica, I got to see remote rural places off the beaten path. I stopped at a palm plantation to take this image of a worker collecting palms using a cart and oxes. I love the perspective and power of the image.

I took this shot on a bus on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. This sign was above the driver and it cracked me up. No smoking on the bus, but something else might be fine? I love taking pictures of funny signs. Search above to see more from around the world.

The very colorful bird is found all over the rainforests of Costa Rica.

Sunset at Tamarindo beach, with the low tide, makes an amazing reflection on the wet sand. This mirror effect doubled the beauty of the sky.

The nice colors of the flowers were highlighted by the blue sky in the background. The use of selected focusing worked in this image to create this feel.

I found this flower on a hike near Arenal. Costa Rica is a tropical wonder with such abundance of strange and interesting flowers.

A perfect sunset above the ocean and trees. No words needed.

I call this one reverse evolution. Another funny sign to add to my collection from around the globe.

Nature is one of Costa Rica’s draws, and with the amount of diverse flowers around I can see why. This one I took after a rain storm in the rain forest, and liked how the water collected on the flower.

I was hired to shoot a horse ride in central Costa Rica, East of San Jose. I was to document the trail and take images that will be used in brochures and ads for the outfitter. Along the way we stopped at a tiny tienda to get drinks, and I captured this moment of time.
