Did you want to see my blue foot?
Yep, proud of them! Bright blue!

Magnificent Frigate birds: This is how we attract the females!
And this is how I attract them. Cool, yes?
I am so sick of hearing about my blue feet!
But I AM proud!

Didn't someone tell the animals that they are supposed to stay 5 feet away from humans?
We had amazing sunsets nightly. In the zodiacs on the way "home" to the Endeavor.
