One of the most unique birds I saw at Galápagos, I love the texture of the feathers on the Blue Footed Booby. They’re surprisingly unfazed by people. I had one walk between my legs while we were on a hike!

Unlike the old Galápagos tortious I shared previously, this one was much more enthusiastic. He even smiled for the camera! #photography #wildlife #turtles

One of the most impressive animals I saw on my trip to the Galápagos Islands was the Galapagos Tortoise. They’re far larger than anything I expected. This one was well over a 100 years old. #photography #wildlife #turtles

Merry Christmas! Scary day yesterday, went skiing at Hunter Mountain and my friend took a hard fall. Couldn’t remember how she got there, forgot the last month, and couldn’t remember anything longer than 2 minutes. Went to the ER and she’s recovering, but PLEASE wear a helmet if you ski! #skiing

This yellow crowned night heron is a pretty good embodiment of how I feel on Monday mornings. Taken at the Galápagos Islands.

Last of my Galapagos sea lions. Never thought I’d see a log look as comfy as it does in this shot.

It’s was a several hour hike. Here’s a couple more shots from the sequence, obviously none of them as good as the final one I chose. If you’re out in a national park you’ll find plenty of wildlife though

From the archive. I don’t remember where this was, some hidden falls in Utah or Arizona I believe? I was too young at the time to remember now. Let me know if you recognize these falls.

One of the prettiest plants I’ve seen, I love the gradient of colors over the flowers on this Lantana. Probably my favorite macro shot.

Another attempt at macro photography, I took this shot of a tall anemone during my trip to Watkins Glen. Love the fruits, the spikes in the middle, that it produces.

Definitely one of my favorite moments on my trip to the Galápagos Islands. I was taking pictures after a dive when I got caught in the middle of a reunion between a sea lion cub and its mother. My dad captured this photo just before I got out of the way. #photography
