Monteverde's Pacific slope seasonal forest
I've
been writing for weeks now about the Pacific
slope seasonal forest
around Monteverde, but I suspect you still can't imagine the whole
picture. What does a slightly dry rainforest look like on the
side of a Costa Rican mountain? I hope that the image above will
put the Piper bushes and aroids in perspective.
As you can see, the
activity in a rainforest is mostly high in the air, so I often
contented myself with drawing flowers and fruits that had fallen to the
forest floor. The rest of the images in this post are Pacific
slope seasonal forest detritus, mostly from trees that didn't quite
make the cut to be included in my post about trees
of Monteverde's Pacific slope seasonal forest. Enjoy!

...just for the record.
You're close --- that was in West Virginia.
