Greetings from Ontario, Canada

This photo (one in a series) was taken on one of The Galapagos Islands. As I look at this photo, my brain still screams WOW - Mother Nature is incredible!

The Nazca Boobie was no more than 2 or 3 feet away from us. The egg had just hatched and mom had the newborn on top of her feet to protect it from the scorching sun overhead. Her feet have a thermoregulating ability to maintain the newborn's core temp.

The next photo was taken enroute to one of the Galapagos islands .... a female Magnificent Frigatebird hitched a ride on our catamaran, and posed for the 2 hour duration of the trip. These birds are usually seen in the sky looking for prey / as they cannot land on top of the water ..... they'll drown.

Hello Everyone. Happy new year to all. Here are couple of my favorite so far. It has been quite challange to capture these images due remote its location & cold temperature. But having to see the final piece make me want to go even more.

These all made me go 'wow' when I first viewed them on my camera just after taking the shot.






Okay, so this one didn't make me go 'wow' until I first saw the finished processed image...

Personally I have never had so many WOW's, as when I visited Island.



An other WOW area for me is when I'm going into the Macro world
