Jungle Birds of the Rain Forest Paintings

"Flock of Toucans Jungle River Landscape Painting"

"Rain Forest Jungles" all the shades of Green, many "Bird Species" find this Habitat desirable to survive especially "Endangered Species". I live at the base of "Arenal Volcano" in "La Fortuna", Costa Rica. 

This "Tropical Environment" offers the "Animals and Birds of the Forest" freedom to have an "ecological environment". 

Here are a few of my "Jungle Rain Forest Landscapes", that depict the Green "Protected Rain Forest" in which these "Bird Species" thrive and survive.

Nature Vacation Costa Rican Style

How about a "Nature Vacation" like no other. I am talking about staying in a small Family run Eco-Friendly Resort with only 7 Rustic Cabins. You will relax, enjoy and think you are in another world, no stress. Since moving from the "United States" 2 years ago, I love "Costa Rica", it is a different lifestyle, relaxed laid back and you appreciate the small things better. I thought I would pass this information about "Arenal Eco-Lodge" http://arenaloasis.com/ along to all those who need to relax.

Set on 15 Acres of which only 10 are cleared, you will find 7 Cabins with Teak furniture, private gardens seperating each cabin, parking spaces, Canopies of Century Old Trees overhead filled with Birds and "Wildlife". "Lonely Planet" has great reviews of this small lodge, I live just 10 minutes from this "Resort". this is ideal for the "Tourist" that wants a "Vacation" that is back to "Nature", with "Birdwatching", "Jungle Night Hikes" with Frogs and other "Animals". You will not be disappointed in the "Green Vacation" next to "Arenal Volcano". I moved from "Florida" and I am sure you will love the weather here, for other pictures of this "Tourist" destination please visit my website at william-patterson.artistwebsites.com

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....

"Tranquility in "Costa Rica", yet turmoil in the "United States". I sit here in my Home next to the "Rainforest" . I now feel at peace here in "Costa Rica". With the "Real Estate" market in the "United States" in a downturn, I am glad I moved here 2 years ago. Retirement has brought me "Peace of Mind", Low Taxes yes our taxes on this House with Volcano View are $400 a year, Tourists spend that a Night at the 5 Star Resorts a Mile away.

So, Now I spend my Time Painting "Rain Forest" Landscapes for the Rainforest is just steps from my door.
