ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In El Bosque Eterno de los Niños in there is no shortage of natural beauty. While stationed at the San Gerardo field station in this cloud forest in Costa Rica, I fell in love with the diversity of plants that surrounded me. I tried to capture this burst of life in my photographs. Here you can see epiphytes perched in the trees, heart-shaped araceae leaves fan out on the right, blechnaceae ferns emerge at ground level and, if you let your eyes wander, you are sure to discover more as I did.
