First week in Baja

My first week in baja was really nice!  First I started in San Jose del Cabo, and I went to the estuary and found some ducks!  This was a Cinnamon Teal

And a Blue Winged Teal

And a Kestrel

And a Gila Woodpecker

I don't know this flower, but I like it.

A Yellow footed gull

We went to Isla San Jose for the first day

and then Agua Verde for the second, and I got a nice Cardon Cactus, then in the small town there was a turkey

And some nice goats

Cute babies

Here's a shot of the Safari Voyager from up on a hill

Another yellow footed gull

and I'm really happy with this turkey vulture

Some Cholla cactus fruits

A paper Nautilus shell

Blue footed Boobies

A frigate

A nice Cardon, at Danzante Island

An Elephant tree

A Brittle Star

Gray Whale!

A picture of the ship

And some pelicans

And a fig tree in Espiritu Santu

Some old cholla wood in Espiritu Santu island

A view from the top of the hill

and an Agave 

A lizard

Another fig shot

the beach we landed on

the full moon that night

the reflection of the full moon

And this shot, which I am really proud of, is Jupiter, and the moons of Jupiter.  Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.  I've seen them before with binoculars and this was the first time I got a photo of those moons

The next morning I got a nice shot of the moon

And the baja west of Isla San Francisco

A cholla flower bud

A view from up on isla san francisco

A shell

A view from the hill on Isla San Francisco.  It was super windy and fun to be on the hill

Here's the ship from a nice height

And a shrike!

 Whoa, this was a lot of photos, and it was a great week.  I'm excited to get to La Paz and see if Aquila is still sitting pretty, and maybe go over and check on her.  And begin another week.
