This is a type of orchid, growing in a collapsed volcano lake (a caldera) in the mountains near Quito, Ecuador.
Ecuadorean Woman
I don’t take too many pictures of people when I travel, but this woman just happened to be standing in an alley while I was waiting around for the rest of my group, and it was a nice photo opportunity. The people of Ecuador are known for wearing felt hats, with different colors signifying different tribes and ethnicities.
Blue-footed Booby
This is one of my favorite pictures from traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos a few years ago. The blue-footed boobies would walk right up to you (animals there don’t have a lot of natural predators, as the islands are so isolated, so they’re not scared of much). They would stand there, and show you their feet. So cute!
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
This waterfall is in the ‘Grand Canyon’ of Yellowstone National Park.
Bighorn
A bighorn sheep nicely poses for me on a rock in Yellowstone National Park.
Geyser
I’m taking a break from some of my Morocco / Spain pictures, and going back through some of my stored favorite photos. This is from Yellowstone Park, in the main geyser area. The colors are so bright–it looks like an inviting, cool, pool, but it really isn’t.
Hibiscus
I love hibiscus flowers, but don’t have the patience to try to grow them in Minnesota.
Juice Sellers
Orange trees were everywhere in Morocco, and the juice was so good!
Ait Benhaddou
This is a Kasbah in Morocco, preserved as a backdrop for numerous movies, including Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia.
Tropical Flowers
I’ve seen these flowers in numerous warm places–Mexico, here in Morocco, Spain…they are so beautiful and bright.
