It's been a while since I dug into the photo vault. Here's a shot I took earlier this year while vacationing in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica. I have to say it's one of the most picturesque sunset spots I've ever visited.

While we were there, I did a canopy tour on a zip line (highly recommended!) and went on a river tour. There were gorgeous birds...

Tom, those are gorgeous pictures! I would LOVE to do the zip line thing. My hubby would love to move down there on the Pacific coast. Beautiful!

Beautiful sunset, Tom....and very graceful heron ! The crocodile I would rather not look at....they kind of terrify me.

Looks like a great place to vacation...I've never been however my Mother went a few years back and she loved it.

Tom - You have some great shots my friend! Don't think I would like to meet up with that gator by myself :)

Great Photo's Tom, looks very similar to Florida...I know Costa Rica has become a hugely popular retirement destination. Any input on that?

Debbie - This was our second trip to CR. There are certainly large numbers of Americans who have opted to etire there. Having lived in Mexico for two years, I'd advise renting for a 6 month minimum before making any commitment.

Absolutely beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing your view of Costa Rica.

Tom,

Beautiful photos!  There is nothing like a beautiful sunset because they change quickly and are never the same.  Nature photos are always fun.  Thank you for sharing.

LaShon - Thanks or stopping by. Glad you enjoyed them.

Debbie - I love sunsets, too. Thank you.

Michael - Costa Rica is so varied. From eco-retreats to rainforests to stunnng beaches and rivers. I think you'd love it.

Nice Pics!...  I've been told that Costa Rica is an amazing place to visit.  You took some great pictures, making it even more inviting.  I hope to get there one day.
