Swallow-tailed Chick

Blogger is doing it again. Changing things.

I noticed that photos no longer just open larger as they have been doing since the start of this blog. They now immediately download...not something I really want to happen automatically.

So I posted this from Flickr...but then had to widen the web page. It's still not perfect. I see little rounded corners where they shouldn't be, but my html knowledge is limited so I'll have to keep it for now!

Hope this minor change didn't cause any problems for you. Let me know if it did, please.

This photo is of a baby Swallow-tailed chick who was chasing his mother...asking for food.

Galapagos Islands. You can get this close!

Galapagos Fish Market

Amazing to see, the pelicans and even a sea lion were waiting for the scraps from the fish cleaning counter.

All I could think of was that in New York, the Board of Health would have stopped this long ago.

Well, we ate fish and didn't get sick, so I guess it was not as bad as it looks!

We loved the trip, the people and the food and everything that told us it was not the USA.
