Every place we visit has its own magic. Isla San Francisco was probably one of my favorite stops. Isla San Francisco was so colorful, especially the beach on the north side of the island. The guide book we have on board always points out when there is a white sand beach, but I find that I prefer more heterogenous, rocky, multi-colored beaches. This island was incredibly fecund – so many neat creatures! From the easily visible (lots of birds) to the nearly invisible (bugs and sea life). It was a great place to be stuck for a week. Here’s a visual tour of Isla San Francisco:
I think this is an Osprey (Pandion haliatetus), but please correct me if I’m wrong!
Colorful stones.
A rose, is a rose, is a rose…or it’s a snail trail.
You’ll never know, until you look.
Looks like sherbert.
Stones of every color! I want to take them all home!
Love.
Jeff on the hunt.
Make a wish.
Ephemeral homes.
The North side of Isla San Francisco.
Scoping out the territory.
Color!!!
Look at those hillsides. Can it get any prettier?
American oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus) – they sound like little girls screaming and they’re probably my new favorite bird
