As the snow falls again and melts. The thaw begins again. It seems never ending around here. It’s northern Michigan are you surprised 😁The spring anticipation makes us all ancy. There is hope that better weather will come and spring is right around the corner but not at this moment. I can feel it in the air and the way the sunsets it’s getting closer each day. I will enjoy the beauty of winter as much as I can.

After docking at Bartolomé Island, we climbed the wooden staircase leading to the famous viewpoint. Before even reaching the top, I stopped to take this shot. What caught my eye was the crater in the water, a clear reminder of the island's volcanic origins.

That circular crater, partially submerged just off the coast, is a rigid cone formed by volcanic explosions when magma met seawater. Over time, erosion and rising sea levels filled it with water, creating a natural lagoon. These formations are scattered throughout the Galápagos, shaping the islands' dramatic landscapes.
