The imposing Galápagos Hawk (above) is always ready to attack its prey without any fear; he only focuses on his goal. I was inspired to take this picture because of the deep and imposing gaze of the hawk on Chinese Hat Island.

The Road Scholar participants (below) are receiving the energies of mother earth lying on the youngest lava flow at Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island. A heartwarming and magical moment!
