beautiful
I love them!!
The penguins here only come onshore after dusk, to go into their burrows , and they leave again before dawn. I've watched them at night using a red spotlight, but I couldn't get a photo without using a flash, and that seemed unkind. So this was my record.
Love the Penguin feet!
