David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of nature and the natural world. Plants, animals, and wildlife from around the world.
A squirrel on my back porch. As long as it looked away it didn’t think I was taking its picture. Probably one of the squirrels that would later get into the attic and cause all kinds of problems.
On the previous day we drove from Hosteria Helsingfors to Hosteria El Pilar near the town of El Chalten. We stayed at this location for a couple of days. Early in the morning (before sunrise) we were rewarded with a magnificent view of Mount Fitzroy from right outside the hosteria. You need to view this panorama in full-screen mode. After picking up our guide in El Chalten, we hiked to Laguna Torre in Parque Nacional Los Glaciaries (Glacier National Park). During the hike we saw a female Magellanic Woodpecker. Once at Laguna Torre there was an impressive view of the Torre massif, the Adela range, Mount Solo and their respective glaciers.
