Just back from Ecuador tonight and in the process of downloading all the new photos. Many to go through, but to get started, here’s a marine iguana from the island of Fernandina. I’d say that based on the amount of photos I took, the marine iguanas were my favorite subject, and Fernandina was my favorite island. Many more of these guys to come. All in all it was a great trip in both the Galapagos Islands and in the cloud forest on the mainland. I’ve avoided the Galapagos Islands in the past because of my apprehension about the group nature of such a trip, the regimented scheduling of island visits and lack of independence. All these things proved to be true, but we worked around the limitations and managed to really enjoy ourselves. Now time for some much needed sleep.
