Light is everything in photography, and for most of this trip light was a real problem. Fortunately, the last day in Savegre saw glorious sunshine, and at Batsu Gardens later in the AM I got what was probably my best photos, especially of the hummers. You've seen most of these, but this was a day to really get much better pictures. So enjoy.

Pois Volcano
When we arrived back to San Jose from Savegre, I hired our driver to take me that afternoon to
Pois Volcano Park. I had never seen a volcano.
When we arrived, the entire crater was covered in cloud. I was prepared to be
disappointed, but then the clouds partially blew away, and we could see down into the
bottom where a lake has formed. This volcano is very active. The San Jose airport was shut town
several weeks before we arrived due to clouds of ash, and in fact the park was closed the next day after our visit because
of dense clouds of Sulphur.

On the way back to San Jose we stopped for a late lunch and watched as a group of
Chinese photographers with about $100,000. worth of equipment tried to get a group of toucans
which unfortunately didn't show.
