Ooops, best laid plans...

We ended up postponing our trip to Costa Rica. We have until near the end of February 2008 to use our airline tickets. Not sure when we will actually be able to go. John felt (and I agree) he shouldn't leave the country without taking his youngest son with us--teenagers will be teenagers, LOL.

Since we didn't go to Costa Rica, we spent some time in the country again taking pictures. The chipmunk was eagerly chowing down on bird feeder spillover:

This tree photo is the opposite side of the "tree of men" in my previous post. We were so drawn to that tree that we went back for another look and discovered the "devilish face" on the other side of that tree. (See the possibility of horns rising from the forehead?)

Beautiful Weekend before Costa Rica trip

This past weekend and the days since have been a boon to my mental health! I fare a lot better when it is warm and sunny! This coming Saturday John and I will be heading to warm and sunny Costa Rica. I will try to update the blog while there, but don't know how successful I'll be.

Here are a few photos out of a whole bunch I took this past Sunday (April 22, 2007). See if you can see at least two faces in the "mantree" picture. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of them. I also recorded the spring peepers that we were surprised to find whooping it up in the late afternoon instead of early evening (it's not much to look at, but the sound is impressive).





I liked this picture because it looks surreal.

I loved this view of the countryside with Skaneateles Lake in the background:

Being a fellow motorcycle rider, I had to capture this biker out enjoying the great riding weather after being stuck on four wheels through the winter season:


I believe these next photos are of a downy woodpecker:
