Weekly Photo Challenge: Blue
How about Blue Footed Boobies flying over the ocean Blue……
Taken last year in the Galapagos. This was one of those opportunities that really got me hooked on Photography again – thanks for the reminder Daily Post!
An oldie but a blue footed goody

Wow. I love these challenges as I see many things I did not know – such as a bird with blue webbed feet

Thanks! They use their feet as “flaps” to slow their flight for landing – fun to watch

Ailsa – the Galapagos is definitely worth it – put it on your list. A photographic opportunity not to be missed.

It’s right up there with Antarctica and Madagascar. Man, I have an expensive list in the making

Ailsa – sounds like a great list – we’ll have to compare itineraries sometime
