One of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip was c One of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip was capturing this Resplendent Quetzal male in the Monteverde cloud forest. 
I'm still far from having sorted through all my photos, so in the meantime I just published a blog post with a few impressions: https://luciwest.com/quick-impressions-from-costa-rica/ LINK VIA BIO

Also I didn't want to hold out on sharing a photo of this gorgeous bird any longer. Seeing the quetzal couple in the wild was so magical that after seeing them in the morning and then hiking almost 20 km, we hiked some more to return to their nest in hopes to seeing them one more time. That's when I took this photo. Notice the food in his bill, which he's about to feed to the young in the nest.

This time it's the gulf fritillary (aka passion butterfly) I caught laying more eggs on the last remnants of passion vine leaves, which are sure to get gobbled up by the inevitable caterpillars coming from those eggs. Lucky me (and lucky butterflies), my friend Sudsy just gifted me a new native passion vine (maypop). And that one is even about to bloom. None of mine have made it to that stage with all those hungry gulf fritillary caterpillars...

Usually, I aim not to re-post a photo I've shared Usually, I aim not to re-post a photo I've shared before. But today I'm super excited to have THIS photo (as a large 24x36 metal print) of a pelican watching the sunset off the dog beach on Honeymoon Island in the photo exhibit Files & Film 8 at Gallery221 @hccfl_artgalleries at HCC Dale Mabry in Tampa. 
The opening reception starts tonight at 5pm... with gallery talk at 6pm. So I better run...

The exhibit will be up through June. So plenty of time for you to go to Tampa and see it. 😊

How sick is our society when children murder children? Prayers don’t heal this sickness. If anything can, it’s accountability and action.
