Prince Phillip’s Steps on the island of Genovesa is home to a wonderful array of birds, none of which fear humans.

Photographing such fearless subjects was a breeze. Not so, catching them in flight.

We encountered a sea lion and her pup shortly after landing at Darwin Bay during our afternoon excursion. Park rules dictate that visitors maintain a 2m separation from the wildlife.  If not for that regulation, Maya would have snuggled her way into this family.

The sunset this evening was sublime and I found it a great background for the silhouette of a sailing ship that was anchored nearby.
