Blue footed Boobie and chick. Their “nest” cracks me up. It’s a 3″ divot in the dirt. At least this nest was on level ground. We saw many nests on a slope where when the moved the egg it could easily roll down the hill….
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos

Wildlife Wednesday-Crescent Lake
This big boy was running straight at me just about 60 ft or so away. Fortunately, he was focused on the fish you can see in the water in front of him.
Wildlife Wednesday-AMAZON
This beautiful Red Titi monkey burst from the jungle climbing at an amazing pace up the cable to the 150ft platform we were standing on. Cool-but a lil scary too!
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos Sea Lion
We learned that the difference from a Galapagos Sea LION and a California seal is that it has ears (which you can see on this singing lil dude). He was just singing away, not afraid of anyone in the group. This was taken from about 12 ft away on the trail that we were required to stay on.
Mule train…
Workers and volunteers use mule trains to get supplies into the national forest/park as motorized vehicles are not allowed. It does make hiking the trails when they are there VERY INTERESTING. It became a mine field of poo as well as so very skinny bypasses. But we are grateful for their work.
Marymere Falls trail
What a treat to have such dappled sunlight on the trail this am.
A whale’s tail
Got this fun shot of a baby grey whale at whale cove on the Oregon coast. It was swimming with its mom and at the time we thought it was the tale of one and the other’s face. But later we learned from a docent that these huge whales can curve up like a banana (or more). So now I think it was just the baby. WE were so surprised how close to the rock they kept.
