BraunFam Galapagos Trip

This image is from a photo heavily cropped.

As my sister said, I love penguins too. Galapagos penguins are very small. Only about one foot tall! I need a poll to see if penguins are cuter on land [see right image] or cuter in the water [see bottom image]. Please answer in a comment. We saw penguins in the water while snorkeling but just for like two seconds because they swim at 28 MPH! Talk about small and speedy!

So orange! It grows on very dark lava. Amazing.

It's likely the female that brings the seaweed to the nest where the male is hovering over their newborn.

Read up on the Flightless Cormorant.

This group of four frigates was coasting along with our boat for over an hour.

This iguana seems to have a good self esteem. May even be cute in a certain way.

Now this is the way to enhance relationships.

Warning - sharp curve ahead! The fishing birds all have sharp tips to their beaks.

Big mouth, Hey, Hey! In that beak you can hold enough food for a week!

So cute!

This lava lizard wanted to inform me of some perspectives that Favian and Dani were leaving out.

Who said we were supposed to stay 2 meters from wildlife?

Bob, Benjy and Jonah looking very cute.

Goooood morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is your wake up call. In thirty minutes your breakfasts will be served.
