| Rufous-tailed Hummingbird On Heliconia in my garden, Atenas, Costa Rica |
Yeh, it is unusual for a hummingbird to stay still very long, especially on a flower! Thanks Lord!

| Bark Scorpion On my kitchen floor, Atenas, Costa Rica |
Both of these shots were made before breakfast this morning. The scorpion crawled out from under my electric dishwasher. You can see that on his tail and left hand he has collected some cobweb. 🙂 I just used the broom to sweep him outside off my deck or terrace. In 2 1/2 years here it is only the second scorpion I have seen, both in my kitchen. I am going to spray under my dishwasher, stove and frig, the best hiding places. Though, last night I opened two cardboard boxes of old genealogy books and that is also a good place for scorpions. Part of living in the jungle! 🙂
