Not sure the name of this bird but I took many photos of him and his friends in Costa Rica.  They were very busy in the morning rapping on the windows and flitting about eating fruit and singing. I painted an oil painting of this little bird... I also love the purple flowers near him.  I really need to learn all the flowers I saw in Costa Rica (and the names of the birds) because there are so, so many and they are all beautiful.

Costa Rica has so many types of birds.  But I really enjoyed watching the hummingbirds when I was there.   Was saw many hummingbird and butterfly gardens.  And in the mornings, especially where we stayed near La Fortuna, the birds were just naturally about. I am working on hummingbird paintings.  Stay tuned for some of the photos.  I have already sold a couple hummingbird paintings finished this past week.

Just got back from Costa Rica and had such a great time.   I ate like a pig but actually lost weight.  Must be the great food in Costa Rica and fresh air and warm sunshine. La Fortuna Volcano from my bedroom window.  Such an amazing feeling to wake up to. So many birds and animals chattering. The waterfall we played in... Of course, me!
