Le bleu.
Le bleu que je chéris tant.
Tant et tant jusqu’à l’écœurement.
Le bleu s’impose en moi, sans nul autre choix.
Une évidence même.
Et même en ce jour gris, où le cyan a fuit nos cieux,
Et même au delà du bleu que j’ai au cœur, qui blessera mon âme chaque jour un peu plus,
Je continuerai à chérir ta couleur, ton essence, ta symbolique.

#NewSpecies of #PirateSpiders discovered on South Atlantic island nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2024/f

Two new sympatric species of the pirate #spider genus Ero C.L. Koch, 1836 from the cloud forest of #SaintHelena Island, South Atlantic Ocean europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/i

"Having been confused for a closely related species, the 2 new #spiders have been hiding out on #StHelena for decades. Now newly recognised, it’s hoped the spiders will provide added impetus to preserve the island’s threatened #CloudForest."

My brief visit to #CostaRica, my mother's birthplace, almost 30 years ago, was at the start of the #ecotourism trend described in this article, and was nothing at all like the author's experience.

We stayed in #SanJose, but I did visit the #CloudForest (and a river tour and my then third #volcano, #Arenal). It is a beautiful country.

The #ferns especially struck me as #primeval; I imagined dinosaurs eating or wading through them, they were so massive.

Chatting with someone on Instagram who's currently very near where we visited in Costa Rica three weeks ago and who's had more stationary hummingbirds to photograph. Our flying friends were decidedly more zippy-all-over-the-place and this is probably the best of the photos I managed to snap in the cloud forest.
