[mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-may-7th-2019](mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-may-7th-2019) [Book](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/section/booking) In this Daily -- Floral Blooms, Cooler Weather, and Moisture in the Mangrove All throughout town the flowers are blooming, with Plaza Calle La Ronda, Paseo Del Mar, Plaza Danta, and Plaza Central all recently springing to life with splashes of purples, pinks, reds, and oranges. ![Flowers Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_7434-600x450-1.jpg?width=600&height=450&name=IMG_7434-600x450-1.jpg) ![](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_7436-e1557245132127-450x600-1.jpg?width=450&height=600&name=IMG_7436-e1557245132127-450x600-1.jpg) The Malinches (the bright red flowers in the photo above), are blooming all around Guanacaste right now, and they're worth heading over to the Paseo del Mar rotunda to take a look. They're even more vibrant in person. ![Beach Flowers Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_7437-600x450-1.jpg?width=600&height=450&name=IMG_7437-600x450-1.jpg) As you can see in the photo above, we have quite a bit of shade present thanks to cloud cover this morning, which has brought with it cooler temperatures that make it very enjoyable to be outside. Along the same lines, the gentle breeze has left the cove a clear shade of blue with excellent vis and gentle waves, and water temp is right around 80 degrees. On the trails, the first rains of the season have started to pack down the trails after dry season, and reports from [Pura Vida Ride](http://puravidaride.com) are that a few [strong rains should rinse out the dust](http://blog.lascatalinascr.com/daily-thursday-october-25th-2018/) and the loose rocks to get us closer to peak trail conditions. ![Dry Mangrove Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_7431-600x236-1.jpg?width=600&height=236&name=IMG_7431-600x236-1.jpg) Also, spotted a bit of moisture in the [mangrove on North Danta](http://blog.lascatalinascr.com/daily-tuesday-october-30th-2018/) today as well, the sign of more life to come. You can tell that there's still a long way to go before we return to full green season levels, but beneath the surface the ecosystem is slowly but surely getting back to it. ## See related posts ## [Sunday, August 11th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [In this Daily: Día de la Madre (Costa Rican Mother’s Day) and the Week Ahead](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) ## [Monday, November 18th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [In this Daily: The Pura Vida Ride Paddle Battle and the Intrepid Challenge](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) ## [Wednesday, August 28th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [In this Daily: A Look at the National Parks of Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) ## [Monday, September 23rd, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [In this Daily: The Monkeys of Guanacaste](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) #### Subscribe to The Blog, The Daily, The Newsletter, and more Additionally you will receive our occasional newsletter.
