Just getting back into the States from Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands after a three week trip. The flora and fauna just overwhelms my senses. Although I am now in recovery mode from the daily regimen of hiking and snorkeling twice a day ( once each morning and again in the afternoon) I do feel it helped me get back in shape after the 2 years of being a Covid Slug. We all joked about it being like Galápagos Boot Camp. The crew and guide on the boat were excellent and we were all highly pleased with our tour accommodations and the services they provided. Our guide, Richard Polatty, who has a PHD in geology and a wealth of knowledge in biology and climatology just filled our minds daily with highly informational lectures on the islands, weather and the inhabitants of each island we visited. We visited all the islands in the eastern and western locations during our trip with Inca Tours with my portable SSD getting nearly full of photo data. It will take me at least a month to process them I think.
In the meantime I do have a few that I processed with just the photos app on my IPad to show you. The rest will have to be done properly with DXO and Affinity.

Great shots. I was there four years ago and loved it so much I am going back next March. You are going to go absolutely nuts editing your photos, and even crazier deciding which ones you want to show here. Incidentally, I made a book, and our daughters liked it so much I had to make three more.
Great photos. I love the marine iguana basking in its own beauty, the blue footed booby steppin out for a dance number and the flamingos head to tail. Well done. I hope to see more.

Wonderful! Looking forward to more.
Visiting the Galapagos is an awesome experience and one I will never forget. I would love to be able to go back. You are fortunate to have 3 weeks there. Thanks for posting your photos and I’m sure we all look forward to seeing more of them. Nice job!

Thank you all for the comments! I may be able to be awake now after a good long nights sleep and will be getting started on the new project, Galápagos.
