Not just in the Galapagos Islands but in the cities too iguanas roamed freely! I'm not a reptile person but we had to document this part of the world. CREDITS; AASPN project. temp 3-13, app explore brad & artsy pp3 (altered), oscraps journey brads

When I asked the naturalist what type of ducks those were and he replied "pintails" I looked again and didn't the long pintail I was used to and thought to my self "no they're not". That's because they are white-cheeked pintails not the northern pintail I see at home. Learn...

Watched a few of these blackbirds hop on the ground and in the trees. We have different varieties of blackbirds here in California but not this one... another life bird Credits: AASPN:: app brumal solid recolored, APP explore transfer 4, journey word transfers, artsy template 128 frames...

I have the male western tanager on my "to see list" but I was very happy to see this pretty blue-gray tanager! Another life bird and another bird for my book.....all good CREDITS: Oscraps_journey_joanneBrisboise pp basicgray_clippings_ep 2-22, 2-24, 2-53

There are several varieties of the shearwater. Because it has one of the longest migrations of any animals and only goes on land for breeding season little is known about this bird. The day we saw them there were 100s (no exaggeration!) in the sky and water. I combined 2 photos to give the...

I think those barn owls are the cutest bird! When we have seen them not only are they out in the daylight but so calm just looking at us crazy humans taking multiple photos of them!

nice! Adryane's tutorial for the butterflies is so addicting, don't you think?

Fabulous page I remember crossing that bridge last year and thinking architecturally it was amazing!

A striated heron seen in the Galapagos. . . another life bird for me (for non-birders, it simply means seeing a bird for the first time in its natural habitat) CREDITS: APP summery pp2, APP archive transfer 1, AASPN abstract fotoblendz 1-4, urban threadz 4

There's always more to learn about birds; I found out first hand after seeing the great blue heron in the Galapagos and comparing it to the ones I see in California. California herons are the largest photo and the smaller 2 top right Galapagos heron the bottom 2 smaller photos CREDITS...

Keeping it simple using Anna's templates. I saw several(!!) life birds on our trip to the Galapagos so bird book will have lots of new pages. I learned the great frigatebird has green sheen on its feathers (G=great & green) whereas the magnificent frigatebird has purple sheen on its...

Another page for my personal bird book; I was very glad to see the penguins. Of course, I've seen penguins in the zoos but it so nice to see an animal in its natural habitat! And these penguins were small and so cute! And they are the only penguin in the world to be seen NORTH of the equator...

I will be posting some pages from our trip to the Galapagos. I went for the birding opportunities and I was not disappointed! These pages will be part of my ongoing personal bird book I have been creating for several years: my photo, location, date, maybe some info about the bird and, of...

enjoying your posts!! I need to get busy and post some of my captures from the Galapagos.

Not many birds at the ponds this morning; it made me really look at what was happening with the birds I did see. This interaction between white pelicans and mute swans made me laugh. CREDITS: AAPP minigelid, AASPN artsy template 89, APP coastline transfer 1, APP whimsy brush, APP saffron...

We took so many photos on this trip....we started in Galapagos and worked our way to Machu Picchu. It's one of those places that pictures don't really capture what you see in person! CREDITS: Oscraps MB template: Anna Aspnes, APP mini mento, APP hackneyed cord wrapped card B, AASPN...

This was one of our stops in Peru on our way to Machu Picchu. Such a fun stop and I came away with 2 beautiful blankets as "souvenirs" CREDITS: AASPN: Artsy template 65, APP ariose mini paletter pp2, APP saffronvilla transfer 2 AT arrive 2
