EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a delicate butterfly finds solace on a vibrant leaf in the enchanting butterfly garden of Guacima de Alajuela. The image captures the serene beauty and intricate details of nature's most exquisite creation. Located just 40 km northwest of San Jose, this breathtaking sanctuary is home to over 30,000 cocoons representing an astonishing variety of 30 different butterfly species. It is here that Joris Brinkerhoff, an American citizen with a passion for these winged wonders, specializes in breeding and exporting them across continents. Costa Rica serves as the gateway for these magnificent creatures to embark on their global journey. From Europe to Asia, Africa to Canada and the United States, Brinkerhoff's mission transcends borders as he spreads the ethereal charm of butterflies worldwide. Each cocoon holds its own unique allure and can be acquired at prices ranging from $2 to $5. These fragile vessels symbolize not only the value we place on nature's artistry but also our responsibility towards preserving it. Through Juan Carlos Ulate's lens, this photograph encapsulates both tranquility and wonderment. It invites us into a world where time stands still amidst fluttering wings and vibrant foliage—a testament to Costa Rica's rich biodiversity and its role in fostering appreciation for these delicate creatures that grace our planet.
