Two years ago last month, we finally acted on the dream of visiting the Galápagos Islands, spending two weeks on the Samba, captained by the island native Juan Carlos Salcedo. Each day we would visit a different island; we would snorkel; we ate great food. The whole trip was amazing.
But of course, it was the wildlife that was most amazing. Completely unwary, they just let you walk right up to them. Which allows for some pretty spectacular photos. Here are some I took, from a couple of the islands, Genovesa and Española, of birds. Maybe another day I'll post a few shots of mammals and reptiles.
