Reading in the sun! It felt as if this day would never come☀️

I‘m about to finish this little black penguin classic. It‘s really interesting to read about Darwin‘s discoveries on the Beagle and the new islands they sailed to!

Blanket, cat mug, tea, a book and my boyfriend next to me - doesn‘t take anything else to make me happy🧡

I‘m curious about this one! I did a lot of research about Darwin for the Museum I‘m working at, we have an original imprint of the Galapagos giant tortoise Lonesome George and a pretty cool Display about Darwin and the Islands 😊 it‘ about time I‘m reading some of his works!

Clwojick I am in love with this photo. ♥️ 7y

Selections taken from Darwin's book The Voyage of the Beagle. Fascinating observations about the flora and fauna of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and the Strait of Magellan.
