This is some relatively new earth with its first residents. I do not remember the name of these cactus but it was interesting that on all this huge lava flow they were the only specie of plant doting the landscape.
This was an extremely fortunate scene to happen upon. This hawk was just sitting on a log having a little iguana snack. Again, its' only concern was estimating our level of interest in its' lunch. Also, no zoom here. I am standing five feet from this bird which I would classify as ....a damn big hawk.
Here you can kind of see a tail hanging out of its' talons. Now look down. There are two or three marine iguanas just below this carnage totally unconcerned with what is going on right above their heads. "Hey.....where's Bob???"
