When we visited Costa Rica a few years ago we found out that one of their most prized products is the rocking chair.

Photo Hunt #260: Trees/Bird

For those who play both Photo Hunt sites, you know that most of the time the combination of themes are poles apart and it would take a Disney-esque imagination to combine them together in one photo. On rare occasions, however, just like this week both themes fit like hand and glove. We get lucky sometimes, don't we fellow players.





I only wanted to post one photo, but I couldn't resist posting another one, after all it's an easy theme this week.

Here's my entry to the combined themes of vertical/reflection. Taken in September 2012 in Costa Rica.

ABC Wednesday #76: A

A is for agouti (ah GOO tee), a rodent from Central and South America rain forests that looks a bit like a really large guinea pig. Its coarse hair is covered with an oily substance that acts like a raincoat. The hair is longest on its rump. The agouti has five toes on its front feet and three on the hind feet. It walks on its toes, not flat-footed like many rodents, giving the agouti a dainty look.

Although it is hard to see it, the agouti does have a tail: it is very small, looking like a dark jelly bean stuck on the animal's rump!

(Info from the San Diego Zoo website.)

I photographed the agouti in Monteverde, Costa Rica. They were everywhere much like we have squirrels roaming around our grounds.
