COSTA RICA - THE PROMISE

In my camera are beaches, forests, giant trees and bug-eyed frogs. Spiders and a drop-dead gorgeous guy (he's easily an entire post, if not several). In my digital recorder are cicadas, howler monkeys, the ocean and a hike on the river looking for snakes.

The promise is this: all will be revealed once I'm back home. I have no doubt come Monday morning, I'll be jonesing to edit tape and tell stories. And I've got some good ones.

But today is my last full day of complete repose and I'd like to spend it spacing out to the sound of cicadas. So instead of a substantive post, let me offer you a moment from this morning's soak in a Pacific tide pool watching the tide come in.
