Lucky enough to get a second Costa Rica layover this month. On my morning walk , I came across this flower. Knowing the photo challenge today was “ephemeral,” I thought this flower was a perfect example.

It’s my niece’s birthday today and I sure wish I was in Germany to celebrate with her… Happy Birthday Bean.

It was a day of firsts for both our furry friends as they bravely stepped onto stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). While River, the water-loving Golden, was his usual fearless self, Daisy, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, showed a courage we hadn’t seen before, considering her healthy aversion to water.

Both dogs surprised us with their adaptability. Daisy, in particular, showed remarkable resilience. She even outperformed River on the board, falling off just once but quickly getting back on. After that, she seemed to understand the risk and avoided any further mishaps.

Much more paddle boarding this Summer now!

Found this guy on the morning walk. Made me smile, you just can’t help but see a face.

It’s been a journey starting this 365 project. 101 days in and I think I’ve found my rhythm.
