Rooms, hallways, closets, rugs, shoe boxes, scents, clothing: what does any of it mean when the body that has helped shape such a world – has given it value – dies, disappears? Those rooms and objects become totems to aura, and that is precisely what the renowned photographer, Catherine Opie, […]

A big kiss from the so-called Hot Lips 👄 plant in Monteverde Costa Rica - one of the most eco diverse places on the planet. Whatever exotic plants you’ve seen in your local garden centre they’re all here in the wild - just twenty times bigger and even more colourful. @sendamonteverde @visit_costarica @monteverdecloudforest #costarica #cloudforest #senda #lips #redlips #kiss #rainforest
Up close and personal with lots of non-furry Costa Rica friends with a great tour on the BOGARIN Trail.

Lots of great places to go sloth viewing in and around La Fortuna. Lucky enough to get some good shots including this one of a baby 3 toed sloth. They are the world’s slowest mammal with 6 species split between 2 & 3 toed varieties and spend 90% of their time upside down! #lafortuna #sloth #arenal #arenalvolcano #costarica @visit_costarica #rainforest #volcano
