STORY

Standing quietly in the rain, I couldn’t help but admire this toucan perched on a mossy branch deep in the Costa Rican rainforest. Despite the light drizzle, the bird’s striking colours stood out vividly against the moody backdrop, almost as if nature itself was painting a masterpiece. Its vibrant beak, a spectrum of greens, oranges, and reds, shone like a beacon amid the lush greenery. In the stillness, it was as though this magnificent creature was guarding the secrets of the jungle, and for a brief moment, I was lucky enough to witness its silent watch over the canopy.
