    Costa Rican snake

    Thanks. I will contact those in Grecia....although, not our 'immediate neighbor'. Our English mastiff was bitten by an unknown snake a month ago, on his neck, which result in temporarily paralyzing his tongue. It wasn't an immediately apparent, so at first he was off his food for a couple of...

    Costa Rica jewels

    Luckily the dog is a very loving English mastiff.... At least when the Ruby-throats arrive, they won't make nests. They should arrive approx 27th Oct. Photo taken through the window while at the computer, this afternoon with a Cinnamon still taking hair...

    The Rubies are back!

    So they are on their way to 'our place'! Unfortunately, we have moved, although 15 Klm down the road, so I won't 'see my returnee's', but I know others do frequent the garden we are in.

    Glad you enjoyed our chosen country! I am sitting here, at the computer, while it's raining and watching a cinnamon hummer take some dog hair for nesting materials.
