From mainland Ecuador and the Galápagos islands.

Ecuador is such a colorful place! Clockwise from top left:

Sally Lightfoot crabs are a common sight on the seaside rocks of the Galápagos islands.
I found many flowers in the highlands around Quito.
The minerals in the volcanic rocks of Bartolomé give them this cool (or should I say warm?) color.

I spotted these hoatzins from my cabin at La Selva; playing Amazon Trail as a kid truly prepared me for life as a biologist! 🙂

    It’s great when you get a shot you didn’t expect and it turns out well!
