True, today’s home pages can be as ephemeral as cherry blossoms (yes, spring, finally, is showing its first signs here in Seattle). But I’m happy that Zegrahm Expeditions gave this sally lightfoot crab (from my Galápagos gallery) the spotlight for a recent spell on its new website. Also glad that they were able to resurrect this pic for their Instagram feed and Facebook cover photo in February. Many thanks, Zegrahm.
