African Penguins!!

This one is for my Mom!
(for those of you who don't know, my Mom LOVES penguins!)

This afternoon, we went for a visit with the African Penguins at Boulders Coastal Park, outside of Cape Town. According to this site, the African Penguins have found their home at Boulders beginning in 1982. They began breeding with just two pair of penguins, and now the colony has grown to about 3000!


Welcome to Boulders!


Do not attempt to shake hands with the penguins...


Penguins - that-a-way!

gotta do a selfie with the penguin!


you can see a lot of penguins sunning themselves on the lower part of the rock


A colony of penguins (I looked it up!)


closer look at the colony


you can see here how close they are to the water...


...and how close we are to them!


one last visit with the snuggle penguins


the pretty wooden path that we walked along


"...the easiest place in the world to make the acquaintance of penguins!"
