Sometimes I think of what Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote, “Oh world, I cannot hold thee close enough!” because when we go to magnificent places and see nature at its best, I want so much to capture those moments, those feelings.
One of the most magnificent places I have been is the Galapagos Islands. Â Six hundred miles west of the coast of Ecuador, these islands hold treasures of nature seen nowhere else.
The feelings of peace and serenity wash over me seeing this beautiful landscape. The vegetation is unusual and very special.I think the lava gulls were enjoying the scenery as well.
Imagine the feeling of calmness in this setting.
Every island, of course, needs someone in authority.
Our walks on the island are always guided by licensed naturalists, trained by the government of Ecuador. Â They tell us interesting facts about the flora and fauna and make the tour very enjoyable.
And we are left with images like this.
