Marty’s photo of the day #4976: This was my favorite moment of last month’s Galapagos Islands trip. There are strict rules about not touching wildlife. However, the animals don’t have any rules. I was on my knees, photographing a group of Galapagos sea lions, when this pup grew curious about me and crawled across the sand to sniff the back of my hand. It was such a magical moment! Even today, I can still feel the pup’s whiskers as they brushed against my skin.
