Happy August! Here’s my first national geographic shot from Costa Rica. It’s a sloth! I have never seen a sloth before and had no idea what they looked like. This is what they look like. They have a perma-smile, they move in extreme slow motion, they have bugs of all sorts feasting and breeding inside their hair, and they are completely and utterly defenseless. In other words, they’re useless. That’s how ‘Sloth’ came to be one of seven deadly sins – it speaks to laziness mostly. This sloth showed up on the side of the road and was making its way across so slowly that we had to pick him up and dump him on a tree. It was comical.
A deadly sin.
