- Path to Monteverde
Today’s featured photo is from the beautiful and preternatural looking Monteverde Cloud Forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. I just can’t get enough of these photos that Josh took. The walk up was a tough one at times but it was so worth it. We didn’t see too much wildlife but got to hear lots of birds and soak in all the amazing foliage. We did manage to catch a glimpse of the always elusive Quetzal so that was a real treat. The walk also made me realize that any attemtps I make at keeping impatiens alive will be fruitless in the arid hot summers here in Chicago. They flourished there in Monteverde and for good reason. Cool temps, lots of moisture, and tons of shade. I have none of that in Chicago in July. Anyway, If you’re ever trying to find a cool place to go, definitely give Costa Rica a thought! It’s gorgeous!
