"Pura vida, a characteristic Costa Rican phrase, literally means pure life, with connotations that suggest translations such as "full of life", "this is living!", "going great", or "real living". The phrase can be used both as a greeting or a farewell, as an answer expressing that things are going well, as a way of giving thanks, or showing appreciation. In modern-day usage, the saying goes beyond its simple translation: it's a way of life. It is a perspective to life that evokes a spirit that is carefree, laid back and optimistic" Courtesy Wikipedia

Sweet set KD.
I became depressed looking through this set when I realized a juvie honeycreeper is better looking than the best breeding plumage male birds we have up here

Superb set of photos of beautiful Costa Rican birds (as well as a viper and a frog), KD! It makes me think about going to CR to see and photograph the birds, even though I am not a birder!
