Seen here looking for birds in the Santa Juana mountains in Costa Rica on a guided tour with Johan Fernandez of the Fincas Naturales Wildlife Refuge of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica on November 11, 2009, I am a humble, wannabe nature and scenery photographer. The more I immerse myself into this rewarding pastime, the more I respect those accomplished photographers who go the extra mile for a chance at a great shot. I have a passion to learn. Please enjoy my humble photographic offerings in these galleries (Costa Rica images supplemented by a few shots by my wife and by Johnny Hernandez, an accomplished member of the Fincas Naturales Wildlife Refuge staff in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.) I welcome your comments. - James A. Farrell; Prescott, Arizona, USA
