Penguins!


I promised penguins, and here they are; they’re a main attraction here.  Penguins are found only in the Southern Hemisphere (didn’t know that until I came here).  And Polar Bears are only in the north.  The penguins are endearing, hilarious and awkward on land.  But they look joyous and graceful when diving and swimming, and when they shoot out of the water and ‘porpoise’ through the air.  And they don't all look alike.  In one of our three landings so far it was penguins as far as the eye could see.  The population on that island alone is said to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Adorable! I had no idea there were so many different looking kinds of penguins living together. They are exquisite with the varied distinctive markings.

Take care. xomaria
