  7. Love the penguins! I was able to get up close to a penguin in Patagonia. I was alone as was he (or she?) and we just looked at each other at about arm's length. Well, of course I was looking through my camera lens - hah!

  30. Beautiful images. The penguins are adorable, they have such a tough time surviving out in the wild. Fascinating aerial shot, amazing how all the rocks and reefs just all of a sudden give way to deep 'nothing'. Scary! I hope you have a wonderful weekend Sylvia.
