I just returned from a family vacation to Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful country and we enjoyed the warm weather, flora, fauna, friendly people, and good food. As always, I took lots of pictures of plants. Here are a few images of the amazing plants from the three different ecosystems we visited: lowland tropical rainforest, cloud forest, and a working organic farm.

Cameron, these photos make me want to go to Costa Rica! The colors and forms are so unusual. Lots of inspiration for dyeing. Your fabrics look great. I will look forward to seeing the finished work.
Oh wow! Thank you for these gorgeous images. Really inspiring. I am particularly drawn to the achiote. So glad you got to go!
