[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I've posted this one on TE a few weeks ago, but I like to share this one also with you. A blue footed booby on one of the Galapagos Islands. They are not afraid of humans and just go on with their own bussiness. We were told not to leave the path - so we won't disturb the ones who liked to sit further away - but some are sitting on the path and because we were looking around sometimes we heard a angry noise to look where we put our feet... We were then to close to one sitting on the path. Don't think they will move an inch, it's their island! So we have to move around them. The feet are amazingly blue. The older the deeper blue.
