Camera Critters...attack of the...

When we visited the Galapagos Islands, we saw many Frigate Birds, and they were all peaceful, except for this one female, who must have had young nearby, because she swooped down on passengers from our yacht cruise. This is very unusual behavior to see on the Galapagos, although it is understandable for a mother protecting her offspring. She didn't actually touch anyone, but many were temporarily frightened.

Yellow bird, we have no banana tree

Trees on the Galapagos Islands are scarcely more than large shrubs. Birds like this Yellow Warbler have adapted to the harsh terrain of the islands.

This juvenile Yellow Warbler is looking for lunch on the beach.

Yellow legs get dirty in the dark volcanic rocks of this Lava Heron's neighborhood.

The fluffy head of this young Frigate Bird won't stay yellow for long.

(If my heading doesn't make sense to you, listen to this song by the ever-popular Brothers Four)

To all my blogger friends, I haven't been able to comment very much as we have been traveling, and won't be home for a while yet. However, I'll try to drop in on some memes when and where I can. No, we're not in the Galapagos Islands again. We're in Paris now, and heading for the south of France later this week. Please don't feel sorry for us, just forgive me for not commenting on your posts. - K

F is for lots of different things...

F is for Furry Friends ... above, my husband Dick with our dog Lindy; below, Dick's furry friend Igor lived for 20 full years.

F is for the funny face of a Frigate Bird chick in the Galapagos Islands.
F is for Flowers in Florida, when we went out to photograph crocodiles.
F is for Freeport in the Bahamas, above, and for a Freighter we saw in Freeport Harbor, below.

F is for Football Fans from Saskatchewan, Canada, seen at a baseball game in Seattle.
Final foto, F is for Fabulous Food in Prince Edward Island.

And just For Fun, every word in the following sentence starts with or (in the case of "of") contains an F.

Fully for folly, fair Fiona, feeling funny, flew forth full of fabulous fancies frighteningly framed for filling files, fleeing further forward from Freddy’s father’s fortune, fantasizing figments for future failures.
