I was thinking of the Galapagos Islands and the magic feather has brought me here. These islands lie 650 miles off the coast of Equador, right on the equator.
Because of its fragile ecosystem this is a protected site. All visitors must be accompanied by a licensed naturalist guide. We are going closer by raft.
The islands don't have much vegetation. At first they look almost desolate, but there are all kinds of wildlife. Look there is an iguauan on top of that rock!
There are over 50 islands and they are volcanic in origin. Much of the rock that makes up the islands is black lava.
The wildlife of the Galapagos Islands is very diverse. There are tiny penguins, flightless cormorants, red-billed tropical birds, sea lions, pink flamingos and these fabulous giant tortoises.
I hope I can see a few more creatures before the magic feather and I return home.
My WDE Sketches: 
Such a wonderful flight to everywhere. I esp. love scenes in Thailand, esp. the Tuk Tuk and the Thai massage. Wonderful crab boil in SF and lovely weaving lady in Charleston. The Italy scenes are super.
