For my week in Costa Rica, this was the view out of one of my hotel windows.
It cheered me greatly, though I had to look up what pongámosle meant.
It means “give me.”
How utterly charming!
Yes, Costa Rica, I shall give you my green heart. And you shall give me yours too.

As I’m running from meeting to meeting here in Cost Rica, I had a chance to take a quick snap of my view from behind the office buildings.
So incredibly green and beautiful, and this is just San Jose.
I can’t begin to imagine the view outside of metropolitan area. I’ll get to see more of it tomorrow.
But for today….just. Wow.
This is what you get when you have a lot of rain.

Ok, it started with an article from Cracked.com titled 14 Photographs That Shatter Your Image of Famous People.
I follow a lot of photography blogs and I see a lot of links like this.
So I took a look.
And in the course of those fourteen images, this one came along. (Click for a larger size)
I can’t stop looking at it. I don’t even know what to say. I seriously don’t know what to say.
It’s Al Pacino and Christopher Walken, but what the HELL is going on? Please tell me this is something from a movie?
My fascination with this image led me to the Awesome People Hanging Out Together Tumblr….which I guess is a pretty popular site because it was named to Time’s list of the 30 Must See Tumblrs.
None are quite as fascinating at this one, but there’s some pretty good stuff in there.
Meanwhile…I must construct stories in my head about the Pacino/Walken photo. Neighbors out for a stroll? Just escaped from the home for doddering elderly actors? LSD? LSD flashback?
I mean seriously? What?

This week’s Theme Thursday is: neighbors
I never get tired of photographing one of the most photographed places in the world.
Photo taken Saturday on our way to wine tasting gulping sipping in Napa.
What a glorious sunny day!

As posted to Instagram….
At least there is *someone* who is happy that it’s raining.
Because I’m not.
