I picked up an old writing desk at a thrift store for $70, and it's made such a difference in how I engage with #art

Being able to have all my #fountainpens and #inks in an easily accessible place alongside journals and stationary makes it so much easier to do small bits of art through the week

Broad-billed Mot-Mot through the scope

I'd never heard of these birds before my trip to Costa Rica, and now they are one of my favorites!

Me: Check out that bird over there! But don't make it obvious, we don't want to scare him away

The Velvet-purple Coronet is a fantastic Colombian hummingbird, but this individual was just spectacular. The sun was coming up behind me after a morning of rain and the bird perched for me, glowing in the early light.

The national bird of Costa Rica, Clay-colored Thrush 🪶

Some call it Costa Rica's most beautiful bird! While it may not have flashy feathers, seeing one just makes you smile
