This sand really did feel as good as it looked. I took off my shoes and went barefoot when it was cool in the morning. Later in the day it was too hot for bare feet.

Historia Natural
Reproducción
Su nido es de construcción y localización semejantes a las del tijo (Crotophaga sulcirostris). Puede ser elaborado por una pareja solitaria o varias parejas en cooperación; lo colocan de 1.2 a 3 m. de altura sobre un árbol o arbusto espinoso. Ponen de 4 a 15 huevos o más, parecidos a los C. sulcirostris (de color blanco tiza que rápidamente se manchan de café y que dejan ver una cáscara azul o verde azulado cuando se rasguñan), pero más grandes.
Alimentación
Forrajea a menudo con el ganado. En ocasiones persigue hormigas guerreras o arrieras (Eciton sp.) para cazar los insectos que huyen del ataque de estas.
Comportamiento
Forman bandadas en sitios abiertos.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Frecuenta potreros, sabanas, cultivos, jardines, áreas de crecimiento secundario, pantanos y arboledas despejadas.
Distribución
Es una especie residente común en el sur de la vertiente del Pacífico, desde el nivel del mar hasta por lo menos los 1.200 m. en algunos sitios; escasamente alcanza a extenderse hasta Cañas por el norte. El primer registro en Costa Rica se produjo en 1931 cerca de la frontera con Panamá; para 1940 había alcanzado el Valle del Térraba, y en 1975 el extremo sur de Guanacaste. Ha desplazado en gran parte al tijo (Crotophaga sulcirostris) de Parrita hacia el sur.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se encuentran desde la parte central de Florida hasta el oeste de Ecuador y el norte de Argentina, las Bahamas y las Antillas.

Descripción
Descripción científica
Mide 35 cm. El macho pesa 115 grs. y la hembra 95 grs. Es más grande que el tijo (Crotophaga sulcirostris) con la maxila lisa y más alta, voz muy diferente y distribución más restringida.
En los adultos el plumaje es parecido al de C. sulcirostris, pero la iridiscencia de la cabeza y el cuello es más bronceada y la de las alas más violácea. La piel de la cara, el pico y las patas son de color negro. Los individuos juveniles son más opácos, de color más pizarroso y en general presentan menos iridiscencia.

this look like the Michel Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" 45 degree lean.... this picture was taking from the world streepest street, Baldwin Street, Dunedin
I’m not wilted, I promise!
What appear to be droopy "petals" of an individual flower, are actually ray flowers. Smooth coneflower has characteristic narrow, drooping, light pink to purplish “petals” that emerge rolled and appear string like. Eventually the “petals” fall off, but they look droopy shortly after the flowers open.

Taken for "Macro Monday" theme "Rock".
This is a smooth cobble sized stone. To the naked eye it's smooth apart from the heart shaped grey piece which is actually indented. Closeup it looks anything but smooth.
Paper Art, Paper Casting entitled Smooth Stones
I am drawn to the lovely, transcendent qualities of nature. I hope to convey the peace and tranquility of a river bed with fresh water always flowing over the stones. As I carved each stone I am reminded of how unique each one of us is and that over time the water smooths out our rough edges.
This piece is composed of soft to medium shades of blue handmade strips of paper all flowing in and around the stones. They are carved from styrofoam with a handmade paper wrapping. People always tell me they think they are real stones. Flecks of mica flicker, reflecting light on the water.
Easy to hang and comes with it’s own nail.
This piece is protected with conservation varnish against fading, dirt and discoloration.
