I was also lucky enough to catch this as yet unidentified butterfly at rest.
We reached Tamarindo in midafternoon.
We managed to occupy ourselves until sunset.
Then we had some ice cream.
One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.

With Charly Jordan:
A tree trimmer died after being trapped under palm fronds in east Bakersfield late Thursday evening. The Kern County Fire Department said on Thursday afternoon at 4:37 p.m., Kern County firefighters responded to the 800 block of Plaza Street for a report of a victim trapped in a palm tree.
When firefighters arrived, crews found a tree trimmer pinned under palm fronds about 30 feet up in a tall palm tree. KCFD said the victim had been unresponsive for about 30 minutes before firefighters got there.
Officials said the truck's 100-foot ladder fell just short of reaching the tree. KCFD said the only viable option was to send a rescuer up into the tree. Due to the technical nature of palm tree rescues, the Kern County Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR-47) was requested.
KCFD said palm trees often develop what is known as a “skirt” of dried fronds, which grows larger over time. The fronds are sharp and their weight can become hazardous. The entire skirt can loosen and fall down the trunk, posing a significant risk to anyone in or near the tree.
