Galapagos And The Blue-Footed Booby...

Il 17-21 aprile
Galapagos

So how many photos of blue-footed boobies did I really need to take in order for it to be enough? I think this was one instance when “more” was better than “less” as my new camera seemingly couldn't stop itself and kept on taking picture after picture...Whether the blue-footed booby, the Nazca booby, the albatross, sea lions, iguanas, lizards, sharks, rays, a varied assortment of birds and, of course, the giant tortoises, Galapagos is a paradise for the naturalist and amateur photographer alike. (There are other species to see, as well, but this depends on the island, season, and time of day one visits; all explorations are securely controlled by the Galapagos National Park.)

Our time on board the Galapagos Legend was full of adventure and fun-filled camaraderie. Wet-landings, dry landings, hiking on the islands, snorkeling, and cruising on the zodiac boats all made for non-stop days and lots of exercise. The astronomy lesson one evening was unforgettable; never have I seen the quantity and sparkle of the stars as I did that night...and the Milky Way was in its full glory.

Let the pictures tell some of the story...
