  • We are moving to Ecuador. Join us on our Expat life in Ecuador. We love nature photography and this channel will focus not just on our new lives in Ecuador but also on us capturing this amazingly diverse country. Are you thinking of maybe moving abroad? Are you ready to move out of your comfort zone? Well maybe its time to "Live the Life you Love"

      Thanks. The hummers were certainly special. A real high for the day.

    Holy, it just gets better...😮 the hummingbirds seemed less competitive than the ruby throated ones here...and so may toucans! What a paradise!

    WOW! Very nicely done . Have parachuted and bungee. Thought zip lining would be boring and uncomfortable. That was fantastic ! Except for the part where I get stuck. And all the hummingbirds land an suck all the sugar out of me. haha.( I'm 98 % sugar ) Mike , I worked for an exterior tall building window cleaner in Minneapolis . 99 % of all injuries happen at the first two floors . Anything above that precautions are taken much more serious . Thanks for another great video .

    Just to add Mindo is a bit of a cloud forest area... a wonderful place to visit. The zip line is strenuous, definitely wear good shoes! Be aware English is NOT widely spoken. I can not remember the little place we ate ate... great chicken/beef/sausage, six of us ate for $38. Some of the best food we ate while in EQ

    I had an excellent steak at the Argentinian restaurant for $16, including sangria 🍷
    I’m acrophobic and I had to close my eyes when the ski lift chair ride as it stopped midway and we dangled in the wind 😬😂

      @@KrisandMike One hummingbird gets my full attention, two hummingbirds excite me, three hummingbirds are sheer bliss. I can't imagine flocks of hummingbirds. Here I see male Ruby-throated and female Ruby-throated hummingbirds. That's it, There are 15 species of hummingbirds in the US, 5 of those have populations less than 5,000. There are 132 species of hummingbirds in Ecuador and 40 of those are in Mindo. The moral to the story is, I need to be in Ecuador and hope I can survive the thrill.
