Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

This barge is a permanent structure on the black sand beach in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Costa Rica. On a summer Sunday afternoon is the best time to catch kids jumping off and hiding underneath the barge. Their laughs are infectious and even a bit spooky as you sit on the beach and hear the echoed laughter of unseen children. We highly recommend traveling to the Caribbean beaches of Costa Rica. It's good, it's cheap and it's inspiring for a photographer.

Slow and Easy

In honor of our Costa Rica trip today I decided to highlight the two toed sloth. These little buggers are so slow that they only go to the bathroom once a week. It's partly because it takes them a long time to process the nuts & berries they eat but it is also a safety measure. Cats are their primary predators so they have to be careful descending to the ground to often.
