Neil finished processing the pictures from Jose Marquez and Kelly-Noelle Rabin-Marquez's wedding some time ago, I'm just finally remembering to post them. :-) The best of the photos are on Flickr, but he's got more in my galleries on our site too, for the especially curious.

Our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands was amazing. The animals were out of this world. The full set of photos is in our photo gallery. Neil's favorites are on Flickr. Here's a few of my favorite photos taken by the talented Neil:

• Standing on the Equator
• Lush Mountains Near Quito
• Lava tube and at a larger point
• Tortoise in the Wild
• Sally Lightfoot Crabs
• Floreana mountain top and cool bromeliad
• Foreana interesting rock formations
• The ever amazing tortoises with each other and with us
• Tree tunnel
• Great panaorama of the only freshwater lake on the Galapagos
• The iconic blue-footed boobies and Frigate Bird
• Sunset on San Cristobal
• Sea lion pup, Sea lions posing for Neil, and a whole lot of sea lions
• Sea Lion and Turtle Snorkeling with Us
• White Tipped Reef Sharks
• Iguana Pile
• Save the Penguins!
• Flamingoes on Isabela
• Lunchtime for the little and big tortoises at the Breeding Center on Isabela
• Iguana Crossing Sign and the nearby iguanas

I put together the 2012 holiday cards into a tree shaped collage. I also shamelessly stole the name "Fridge Love" from Erin for a picture of the photo cards posted to my fridge door. They greet me multiple times every day. :-)

Looking back, I was startled to realize that we've been doing photo cards since 2009 and holiday card collages since 2008. Here's the review:

We have a video security system and every once in a while it picks up some interesting shots of animals in our yard. I find the ones of the birds trying to nest near it amusing. The deer caught me a little off guard; we never see deer this far into our yard and out of the protection of the woods. We also see hummingbirds and turkeys.
