Whilst on the subject of marveling at ones surroundings...

This was the visitor on the upstairs terrace today.

Back to gathering...

These were items I picked up during the week of March 1 to March 7.

For no special reason today I was reminded how fortunate I am to be able to take these long walks every morning in such a beautiful place.

Week of February 22 to February 28

Still at the Old Faux Chateau.

This is a view of the sea from the hotel Villas Caletas in the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

It is well worth visiting this place... at least for a lunch... everything about the hotel is stunning.

The week of February 15 to February 21

There was no collecting this week as I was in Louisiana at the Old Faux Chateau.

These palms are down on the beach directly below the place where I live.
