I'm a winner!
 
I just found out our photo, http://www.markandmonica.com/Photos/...194_large.html was a winner in the Costa Rica photo contest. So exciting!

Congrats - that is such a neat photo!

Where did you take is since the heading says Osa, Arenal and Central Valley?

How fun to come across something like this.

I remember seeing that picture! It was great! Wonderful news. Congrats

That was taken at the watering hole at Bosque del Cabo the morning after a full moon where the frogs had all gathered to mate.

Congratulations - that's an awesome picture!

I don't even remember seeing that photo amongst the finalists - I love it. Is there somewhere we can view all of the finalists? Maybe they'll publish your pic in the next guide!

The pictures seem even more impactful now knowing what the country and people are going through.

FANTASTIC picture!!

MonicaRichards Jan 12th, 2009 02:07 PM

It never was on their previews (that wasn't the finalist they were showing, just a slideshow of the contestants). Maybe they were saving the best? :0) But it is supposed to be "prominently featured on the site" and published in the next guide.

Very cool - I can't wait to see the rest!

What an awesome picture. Congrats!

MR: I don't know...I think they must have had a hard time deciding between your photo and my mom's seafood soup!
ha ha
I absolutely LOVE your picture, congrats!

I think all of the adjectives describing your picture have been taken - great, awesome, fantastic, etc! A perfect winner! Congratulations!

Frogs galore! Congrats!

MonicaRichards Jan 12th, 2009 05:03 PM

petite, your photo did make me laugh! My husband can't believe we won. there were so many great photos on that preview and obviously there must be many more floating around as well.

What time of year did you take that picture at Bosque del Cabo.

hipvirgochick Jan 12th, 2009 07:16 PM

That is a really cool photograph Monica! Congrats! :-)

Fantastic photos Monica, congrats to your husband, the main photographer! We looked though all the pictures, brought back memories!

I wish that your beautiful girls would be my granddaughters!

MonicaRichards Jan 12th, 2009 09:54 PM

swim, there are days when I would gladly give them to you! ;) That photo was taken in late June, traveljunkie. But I think the key part was the full moon. Ask Carlos at Bosque to know for sure, but that's why the frogs were all out. We went back later and the next morning and they were all gone...
