Costa Rica Photography!

So tomorrow I will kick off the big Costa Rica recap series, but today you're going to get a sneak peak at some of my artsy photos that I snapped while on the trip!  In addition to being great for the adrenaline junkie in me, Costa Rica is an amazing place for photographers--beautiful beaches, volcanoes, rain forests....you name it.

As always, I'd love to know which shot is your favorite!  Please comment below!  And feel free to follow along with my Costa Rica vacation re-cap blogs next week.
Photo No. 1:  Quotography
Linking up with Quotography for my best May shot.  I have loved this quote for years, and thought this picture was perfect for it!  Snapped this on the beach in the Manuel Antonio National Park.

Photo No. 2:  Shoot.  Edit.  Submit.

Captured this shot of the shaved ice cart on the beach in Manuel Antonio.  I thought the Yesteryear edit from PicMonkey gave it a nice touch.  Linking up with Shoot, Edit, Submit.
Photo No. 3:  Sunday Snapshot

This picture also came from the beach in Manuel Antonio.  Loved watching the surfers ride the waves.

Photo No. 4:  Shots of the Week
Got this photo of the waterfall through the trees on our hike down 480 steps in order to swim at the base of the waterfall.  Totally worth it!

Photo No. 5:  Black and White

Caught this shot of Cousin Swiss Mister and BOKG walking in the rain in La Fortuna.  Linking up with Black and White Wednesdays.

Photo No. 6:  Straight Out Of The Camera

I took this shot of the Arenal volcano from the front porch of our hotel room.  I'm linking this baby up with with Straight Out of the Camera with Marvelous Mommy!

Photo No. 7:  Sunday Best

Loved this sunset shot on the beach in the Manuel Antonio National Park.  Linking up with Rural Journal for Sunday Best.

Photo No. 8:  Sweet Shot

I loved the way this shot caught the waves crashing and hte blue color of the water at the beach!  Linking up with Sweet Shot Tuesday.

Photo No. 9:  Show Off Your Shot
As you can tell, this is another Arenal shot from our hotel.  I love this kind of photo, so I'm linking up with Show off your shot.

Photo No. 10:  Finagle a Photo
My view from the shade in the National Park.  After getting a good sunburn the day before, I tried to be smarter and keep it parked under the trees!  Linking up with Finagle a Photo.

Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?

I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about
making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

I've been surfing online greater than three hours as of late, yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web might be much more useful than ever before.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a
little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

I believe what you published was very reasonable. However, think about this, what if you were
to write a awesome title? I am not suggesting your content is not good,
however suppose you added a title to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean "Costa Rica Photography!" is a little boring. You could look at Yahoo's
front page and note how they create post headlines to get viewers to click.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab
readers excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

May I just say what a relief to uncover someone who really
understands what they're discussing on the web. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people have to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you're not more popular
given that you certainly possess the gift.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.
