This magical moment at Ballena Royale includes the birds calling to each other as they begin to settle for the evening and the night insects beginning their hum and the frogs starting their clear "tink" sounds, clucks, peeps, chirps and croaks.

World Frog Day spreads awareness and encourages action to protect these vital amphibians before they vanish.

Some people say sloths sleep all day. Zoe mostly sleeps at night like a civilized person.

Lady-like pose. Sorry! She should relax just the way she pleases!

The local market was full of life yesterday. The vegetables are in the back. Next video I'll be sure to include the beautiful produce.

Fascinating!

The brightly coloured balsa-wood masks are ubiquitous in the country, and of enormous significance to the indigenous people of Boruca

From Ballena Royale you can easily visit Finca 6 a Unesco World Heritage site and see some of these mysterious spheres in situ and others that have been gathered. There is a nice museum and a walking trail around the archeological site where some of these balls are found.

Alright, so here’s the mystery: in Costa Rica, there are these giant stone spheres scattered around, and no one knows for sure who made them. They’re perfect...

This is from the day Zoe got sort of lost and came to the sliding glass door of our bedroom. She was offered a branch to grab onto and brought back to her tree.

Siesta time at Ballena Royale.

So many animals appeared at Ballena Royale yesterday! Zoe the sloth was in her usual guarumo tree. A lone capuchin monkey came through making some strange noise. Two agoutis and lots of pretty birds came to investigate the bananas we had harvested as well as this curious pesoté aka white-nosed coati. Earlier in the morning a Jesus Christ basilisk ran along the pool edge (sometimes they run right across the water). After a lot of rain the sun had peeked out and the animals got very busy. This is why we love this place. The experience of nature is so uplifting, rejuvenating, inspiring and healing. If you are interested in a vacation here, let us know! Karen Tatum Ternes David L.

hola!

Do you need to relax? Get totally comfortable and watch this as many times as you need. Breathe deeply and slowly. Watch the hairs on her legs get ruffled by the wind. Imagine you are a sloth with no care in the world. Take a sloth break and then you can face the world again.

I watch butterflies whole I shower.
