Volcano Arenal is my Neighbor

"Arenal Volcano" in "Costa Rica" is my Neighbor, actually it is the view from my front porch.This land of "Green" is truly amazing, teaming with "Wildlife" Birds, Butterflies, Monkeys just to name a few "Animals". 

I retired from the "United States" and found a great Home, "Real Estate" prices are great here, and a years taxes might be equal to one month's electric bill in the States.

Costa Rican Forests Birds of Prey

"Costa Rican White Hawk"

"Volcano Arenal in Costa Rica"

"Birds of Prey"  "Eagles, Hawks, Falcons", before I moved from "Florida" to Costa Rica, I had only see these "Birds" at the Zoo. Now I do not have to go to the Zoo anymore for I live right next to the Costa Rican Rainforest at the "Base of Arenal Volcano"

"Wildlife loves this Protected Eco-System" that allow the "Animals and Birds" to live in an Environment rich in "Natural Resources".

"White Hawk"

"White Hawk Perched"

Coming from "Florida" we hardly ever spent time "Outside" due to the weather in the "Summer", now my days find me in my "Outdoor Living Room" my porch with Volcano View where the Rainforest begins 300 yards away. If anyone had told me that "Birds" would be my entertainment, I would have told them they were crazy. I Sold Real Estate for years in Florida,  now Nature is my Entertainment.

Forest Morning walk in Costa Rica

"Volcano Arenal"

This Morning thinking of 911 weekend in the "United States" and how I felt on that day in "Florida", I decided to take my mind of the Memory of the Horrible Event that was happening in my home State of "New York". So, I am lucky enough to have a "Forest" and "Volcano" in my Front Yard.... No I am not crazy just "Retired" picked up after 30 years in "Florida" and moved to "Costa-Rica".

"Howler Monkey Family"

As I was lucky enough this morning, the "Monkeys" decided to come up the "River" that runs off the "Volcano", I happened to catch them in the Almond trees that line the  Riverbanks which are the start of the "Rain Forest". Wildlife are "Protected" here for I live next the the Largest "Protected National Rainforest" in "Costa Rica". 

"Birds, Birds, Birds" that is what surrounds me and wakes me up every Morning here in Costa Rica. Today I captured a "Tropical Billed Mott Mott" just steps into the Rain Forest. These are beautiful and Colorful Birds, it is said the "Indians" used the tail feathers in Ceremonial Clothing...So to all those around the World who were affected by 911 or lost someone , may I say I hope you find a little Beauty on the "10th Anniversary" whether it be a "Birds, Butterfly" or Rainbow....
