Classic Morning at Playa San Miguel – copyright/Lisa Brunetti
(High tides claimed these lovely trees about one month after this image was taken.)
For a handful of years, I lived immersed in Costa Rica’s natural beauty. Classic rainforest trees towered over my studio, and a quiet stream meandered through the quiet section of the Garden of Eden where I lived. A troop of howler monkeys befriended me, and over the years they became my loyal guardians! I mastered howler language much faster than I did Spanish!
This young monkey truly came within three feet from me! It was as curious about me as I was about it! The adult monkeys were not too happy to witness the cultural exchange! All photos copyright/Lisa Brunetti

i love the photos they are nice reference for nature painting.
Si, but nothing beats working from life! I was chasing a frog around the house in the wee hours of the morning! He won the first round of hide-and-go seek! Z
It’s true there is nothing like working from life, i agree with you. Where you able to win the second round? Frogs can be so noisy during the raining season.
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as clean as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
One never knows when travelling by bus what is happening in cyberspace! Wow! Thank you so much!
Still have two hours to go before I’m home! Off to the next bus!

I’m ‘home sweet home’ and wanted to say,’thanks’ once more! I look forward to more leisure time this weekend to explore your site. Gracias,Z
The last photo here also very attractive to my eyes.
The color of the sea looks amazing.
It looks as if it were water color painting.
*I added captions, and for some reason the order of the images changed. It’s now the final one before the bicycle series!
That was taken at sunrise, and the entire series of photos from that morning was magical. The ocean was mean and angry, and each day it gobbled more of the high areas of the beach. It seemed odd that something so beautiful could also be so destructive.
Your photographs amaze me! You are a true artist and master of the lens!
Thanks again! ~ Z

Flying monley!
