I promise I’ll get back to posting leopards, and giraffes and monkeys soon, but indulge me for yet another week with the penguins of the Falkland Islands. This is another baby king penguin at Volunteer Point. You can see more baby penguins in the background with their brown feathers before they start to molt (shed their baby feathers).

Masterful. Truly amazing
Thanks Mary.
“Oh what a beautiful morning….” Such a great shot, Sean. The lighting is superb!
An artist sees the drama —- Exaultant bird against the morning sky —- Urging the world to sing .
What a shot!
The composition in itself is fantastic, but it’s the back-lighting that brings this shot over the top!
Thanks Rachel, always nice when the creatures and the sky cooperate at the same time.
Wow!!
