We spent the morning at the Selva Verde Lodge working on some macro and nature shots around the beautiful property. Later on in the afternoon we took a trip on the Saripiqui River. It wasn't easy taking sharp pictures from the moving boat!
Here is a Green Poisonous Dart Frog. The very small amount of poison the frog possesses is enough to make a human ill, however will only release its poison if it feels threatened. This little guy was actually handled by our guides- apparently if it is held by a calm and relaxed human it is safe to hold. We were warned not to touch them.
Here is a different view where you can see its behind.
This little guy is called a Blue-jeans Frog or Strawberry Poison-dart Frog. It has a brilliant red head(well this guy looks more orange- perhaps due to the lighting) and blue-to-purple legs so it was very colourful.
Normally I am not into photographing spiders, however a few of our group were very interested in them so I thought I would join in. I had to admit that the spider is colourful and kind of interesting.
One more spider picture.
In the afternoon we floated down the Saripiqui River on a small river boat. There were houses along some of the shore line and the kids love to play and swim in the river.
Here were a couple of boys fishing.
A young Costa Rican enjoying the afternoon.
This guy looked serious about his fishing.
Here is a shot which shows just how beautiful the river was with its surrounding trees. You can also see other boats floating in the river. I really liked how the light fell on the trees and grass.
Here is another river picture taken from a different place. I liked the reflections of the trees and clouds.
Here was a bird pointed out to us on our river cruise. It is either a Cormorant or an Anhinga (Cormorant-like bird).
