Marty’s photo of the day #4959: Deb and I spent the night in a treehouse along the migration route of the Galapagos tortoises (also known as giant tortoises) on Santa Cruz island. Their migration from the humid highlands to the dry lowlands is only about five miles, but that’s quite a feat for these huge reptiles—especially with all the obstacles in the forest. There were roughly 50 tortoises nearby, giving me plenty of subjects to photograph. One thing I noticed while spending time with these tortoises was that each one had a unique face.
