Colorful Bird Watching in Costa Rica





The Beauty of "Birds" here in "Costa-Rica" can keep you occupied daily, trying to document "Bird Species" that thrive here. There is a little family run "Eco-Lodge" by "Volcano Arenal" with just 7 "Cabins set in the Rain Forest Jungle".
"Arenal Oasis Lodge" is a perfect location for a "Costa Rican Vacation". Just 5 minutes from the "Volcano Arenal" you will experience "Nature" at from your "Private Rustic Teak Cabin".
With Walking Trails through 8 acres of "Rain Forest Jungle" over 130 "Bird Species" can be found within this " Green Jungle Habitat".

The Beauty of the "Rain Forest Jungles" has inspired me to "Paint Jungle Rain Forest Paintings" Jungle Rain Forest Paintings some of my "Paintings" can be found in the "Cabins" of this Ecological Resort.

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.

I now spend my time, enjoying the peace and tranquility here, the "Environment" and the People ..This is a Great Place to Retire think about it, My Volcano can be your Neighbor too....  My Paintings are available on my website above, Prints available of photo's too... Come to Costa Rica you will  Love it...
