linda_in_iowa mentioned in her message about her recent trip to Costa Rica that some of her group went to a Sloth Sanctuary. I don't know if it was the same one, but I went to a Sloth Sanctuary several years ago. The Entrance: A model of a prehistoric giant ground sloth One of the Sloths they are caring for Baby Sloths in the Nursery squabbling (slowly) over a leaf They also offer a guided boat ride on canals behind their facility Where our sharp-eyed guide pointed out many animals and plants including a green basilisk lizard: bright blue crabs a sloth and an egret as well as bats, a caimen, howler monkeys, a brown basilisk lizard, and various other birds, and trees and plants and because today's theme seems to be flowers, I'll end with a flower.

Ever try to get a picture of a Cabbage White Butterfly. They are the most nervous creatures and nearly impossible to catch at a standstill. With some of it's bee friends on the sedum
