  7. Great photo of the Jacana. The Jacana we have out here uses those wonderful long toes to run around on top of lily pads.

  9. Viva Costa Rica!

    In the jungles of old Costa Rica
    Where they spice up their food with paprika
    Whether fowl or swine
    the taste is divine
    like the kiss of a young Senorita!

  14. Det är en grann och färgglad ´styltgående´ varelse! Kul att få förgylla vardagen med lite poesi. Häftigt! Ingvar

I love comments so please write something. I usually responds to everyone on their own blogs. But nowadays I often find it impossible to comment on many blogs or on Google+. Often the word verifications is unreadable. And after three times I give up. Other times the systems seems to think I am a spammer. Lots of bloggers loose comments that way. :( So, if you don´t see me comment on your blog that is the reason.
