Maya was her usual fearless self. By squeezing the line with her gloved right hand Maya controls her speed. If you fail to apply the brakes carefully you can hit the end of the line with enough speed to do a flip, a theory I validated myself.
Nicolai used a chest harness in addition to the regular one and travelled through the air with his crutches strapped to his side allowing him to get around when he reached the landing platform.
I don’t know what these are, but I have a pretty good idea of what they are doing. Their complete distraction afforded me an opportunity to get a nice close up. I found them while walking through the garden surrounding our condo.
The combination of lush vegetation, massive rock out crops, luxurious sand and turquoise water made this an idylic place to spend the afternoon. Kyle has announced his intention to move to Cota Rica. I may go with him.
I spent several hours photographing a troop of white-faced Capuchin monkeys and have dozens of great images capturing their very human like behaviors. The alpha male kept a watchful eye over his family and defended it against other monkeys. The mother tended to her baby and was constantly on the lookout for food. The teenagers scampered through the trees, jumping on and wrestling with each other with little apparent regard for their own safety. Hmmm, sounds a little like the Calabria clan.
Jeanine captures me photographing the wildlife. I used only this tiny tripod and a small point and shoot style camera for the entire vacation. I debated bringing my higher end gear but favored mobility over image quality. It was a difficult choice but ensured that the camera went everywhere I did.
Our guide is able to spot the smallest creatures at great distances. He sets up his spotting scope for the group to get a better look while I try and capture the same view on my camera. This remarkable grasshopper is no bigger than the end of your thumb.
This website is dedicated to sharing, with family and friends, the day-to-day adventures of the Calabria family.
