It's a Bird's Eye View...





"The Eagle has landed."
Neil Armstrong


There was one beach on one of the islands that was the training ground for 
young eagles...this young guy was as entranced with me as I was with him!!!

    I looked at all of your images so far, it must have been an amazing trip. Not one I expect to take so I will enjoy the Galapagos through your lens.

    Wow!!! Thanks Woody!!!

    Thanks Ellie..he actually followed me with his gaze...I moved back and forth to take photos and the Naturalist Guide told me he was following my every move! And not fearfully..one thing that was amazing down there is how there is virtually no fear of humans on the islands...the animals all took us in stride!!!

    Thank you Em!
