We had the day off before our birthday, so we
went to our favorite aquarium. As usual, we were attracted to the
quiet beauty of the kelp forest. |
|
|
|
There are always such interesting creatures
floating around in there. |
|
|
|
There were a number of baby birds running around in
the estuary ... always fun to watch them. |

There is a glass room under this wave wall that you
can stand under and feel the wave wash over you. This is a view from
the outside. |
|
|
|
This cute little ray was just 'hanging around' on
the glass wall, waiting for a photo op ... so we gave him one. |
|
|
|
This flounder was doing his best to hide from the
cameras, but failed. |

We both took lots and lots of pictures of the always adorable
otters.

Relatively new members of the aquarium, here was
one of the Asian river otters at play. |

The tide pool at relatively low tide. |

We watched as the fog rolled in. |

A new display ... making people aware of what they
eat. |

How did they know that it was our birthday, and
pink was our color? No, these cute harp seal pups are pink in
October for Breast Cancer Awareness. |
|
|
|
As the sun set and the fog continued to close in,
it was time to head home. |
