Faraway Friday-Galapagos
This Galapagos SEA LION is an evolution of the California Seal. Note the EARS which makes it a Sea LION… They both like to lounge around in the sun…That hasn’t changed.
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos
The great Blue Heron can be found in the Galapagos too! You can tell we’re not in Sequim with the black lava and Salley crabs.
Faraway Friday–Arctic

The big male on the right was very protective of the “toddler sized” howler.
