a living fence

Arenal, Costa Rica
because of the humidity, traditional fences don't last very long in Costa Rica. Instead, people create "living fences"-- branches cut from larger trees that continue to grow after being re-planted.

Del Monte banana plantation, Costa Rica
While most of their produce is marketed under their better known Del Monte brand, they also own other brand names, such as Rosy (as seen on the banana stickers above)

Poas and Arenal
Poas and Arenal volcanoes. Costa Rica
D300 18-70mm Nikkor
2 of Costa Rica's 7 active volcanos. We stayed at a hotel near the base of Arenal, and one evening, it erupted! Of course, it also happens to be the only time on the trip when I didn't have my camera with me.

Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, every coconut vendor seemed to have one of these as pets, or maybe they just bring in the tourists.
According to Wikipedia, these guys aren't just in the tropics, they can also be found in southern Texas!

rainy season

they say that in Costa Rica there are 2 season: rain and more rain. We went during the rainy season, and were fortunate to only have a few brief showers during the afternoons, and some rain at night.
