Galapagos and Machu Picchu

Took these photos while on vacation in Ecuador and Peru in November of last year. (2014) Really thankful I got to see a little bit of the the beautiful scenery and animals that South America has to offer.

This is a major throwback (2012) when I traveled to Southern Africa to go on safari with my dad. I was still developing my photography skills at the time, so I was amazed at the amount of bad shots I took.  Luckily I took enough that I have a few good ones.  Without further ado, here are the pictures.
