The photography tour I co-lead with Greg Basco in Costa Rica was my event of the year – it was an unforgettable experience. Three of the images are from Costa Rica. I’ve also added to ongoing image projects – ice crystals, trees, flower centers, waterfalls, milkweed, and insect photography.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped in to view images, commented, or noted that they’ve liked images. Happy new year!

  Thanks, David – I feel the same way about snakes, in general. That species was a pretty one, though…

  Thanks for the kind words about the dogbane beetle and the viper – not everyone likes bugs and snakes as I do.
