Last month I had the pleasure of going on a photography expedition to Costa Rica with 10 other fellow travelers, all of whom were either photographers or professional landscape designers. We spent nine days photographing the plant life and wild life of tropical gardens, rain forests, botanical research sites, and park lands. I took over 1,000 photographs during my journey, and although only a few of them included roses, I thought I would share some of the images here with my ATP friends.
