Daily Nature Fix: Plant Life in a Cloud Rainforest. (Original Photos)

Hi guys! For tonight's Daily Nature Fix, I'll be sharing a few photos from hiking around Costa Rica. These pictures are mainly of greenery and foliage from the Monteverde Cloud Forest. I've been thinking a lot about how I need to get back to the tropics for a trip, and I was in the mood to revisit some photos from our Costa Rica trip.

^^^This photo was taking from a good 150 feet up in the canopy of the rainforest. We were at a place that had quite a few canopy walkways. It's hard to tell here, but those large leaves in the center were seriously the size of a car. Some of them had to be at least 8 feet long.

^^^I thought this was cool. A small vine was hanging down, but the high humidity of the cloud forest make for ideal conditions for mosses and air plants to thrive. You can see several epiphytic plans growing off of the host vine.

^^^Here's a wider shot of that same viney area. As you can see, it's also a booming habitat for several tropical fern species as well. I wish I could get this much greenery in my vivariums!

^^^This is another photo taken from up in the canopy looking downward. What was cool (but hard to tell in this photo), is that in that little opening in the green, there was a ripping little waterfall and stream.
