Back From The Other End of the Rainbow
I’m back after spending a couple of weeks in Costa Rica. While Costa Rica is a small country, there is tons to see there thanks to their incredibly rich biodiversity. The statistic I read is that Costa Rica has 0.1% of the total land found on Earth, but is home to 5% of all species known worldwide. That’s quite an amazing statistic when you think about it.
While this rainbow photo doesn’t reflect Costa Rica’s diverse wildlife, I’m working on some of the several thousand photos taken during my time away as well as a few audio recordings. Stay tuned…

Jim:
Congrats on a return from what I trust was a safe and successful trip. Can’t wait to see your pics.
Cheers,
Gary.
PS: on a side note; when I was working for Galen, I got a phone call one day at the office from my wife saying, “Don’t worry, I’m Ok.” – I had no idea what she was talking about. She’d gone to Costa Rica with her hiking club, and was at the base of the famous volcano Aranal (?) when it had it’s biggest eruption in 30 years. She got a pic that looked like a nuclear explosion had just taken place.

@Gary Crabbe – Arenal is a cool place to visit. It was one of many places I visited, but it certainly was nothing like what your wife saw. That is a very cool story Gary. Glad you didn’t panic and she was ok in the end!

5% of all species in 0.1% of land…Incredible!!! It should be a wildlife heaven. Looking forward to your posts in this series.
