My obligatory painted turtle

Here’s a sample from a visit to the Galapagos we had over the holidays. I was literally overwhelmed with subjects. It’s an amazing place.

These were all shot with the R6MKII and the RF70-200mm f/2.8l

I was attracted by the screams of two 3-4 years old kids (armed with tiny sticks). Fortunately it was not a Komodo Dragon...

Beautiful shot, ISv. I like the pose, he looks scared.

Actually for few seconds I was scared too - when moms rushed behind the corner like angry tigers. Luckily they realized who is who very fast (lucky me!!!)

Increasingly, it seems like first reactions are to assume the worst.

Unfortunately - yes! Not because peoples are always alert, it's because of the reasons for that!
The Bromeliads started blooming again and the Gold-dusted Geckos are there again!

Two for the price of one, a gecko and a lovely flower.

More of the same from today... Hey Click, when counting don't forget the ants (or whatever are these super tiny things)!
Edited: not ants but I don't know what they are...

The first one with the tongue is especially nice.

The first one with the tongue is especially nice.

Actually since they were feeding most of the photos are "with a tongue"...

I especially like the gecko on second one from today. Cute little thing. Well done as usual, ISv.

This 2-3 month old alligator had his picture taken a few feet from his loudly-hissing mother in the Everglades, from on board an airboat.
