Today’s post is a bit of a luxury for me because I want to use several images as a photo journal. Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words… so here are four thousand “words” to help me convey the feeling of utter helplessness I recently experienced while visiting my extended family in Costa Rica.

When my husband took this picture, he was standing beside the “living fence” in my sister’s yard. He noticed that, on this particularly windy day, someone had started a burn pile in the adjacent field… and walked away. No one (but Jeff) was watching this fire; there was no one to keep it under control.
