CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER DOESN'T MATTER -- SEEING LIVE PENGUINS IN THE WILD DOES MATTER!
Faithful readers of this blog will recall the last time we saw penguins in the wild -- spring of 2014 in South Africa. I was just as calm about it back then as I was today.
Well, sit down, because if you haven't figured out from the title, the second paragraph, or the third paragraph of this post -- we saw penguins in the wild again today! We were kayaking in Milford Sound, and we spotted some swimming, and then some coming out of the forest and into Milford Sound.
Yes! We saw the famed Fiorland Crested Penguin. It was shortly after we saw the New Zealand fur seals from the boat. The fur seals were cute and I didn't have the slightest urge to club them, but they aren't penguins!

Unfortunately, it was in the shadows
of the fjord cliffs at this time of day.
Not quite as interesting as a Republican
congressional leadership fight. . .
The Speaker slips away quietly.
Now, for something different,
the 11 legged sea star, part of
the starfish family.
So, I didn't bring the big lens
on the kayak. My bad.
What you've all been waiting for!
Penguins! Best pronounced "pen-gu-wins"
Tough day at the office.
