Sculpture Just outside the aquarium was this odd thing. It deserved a shot. |
Sea Otter Underwater The first thing we saw as we came in were the glorious sea otters! |
Sea Otter Backside It was hard to get pictures of this guy, though I did better than last time. |
Feeding the Otters They seemed pretty happy about it, too. |

Hungry Otter How do you like those teeth? |
Hungry Otter, II Munch munch... |
Expectant Otter "What more do you have?" |
Octopus I didn't have a proper flash at this point, which was annoying, because it was feeding time. |
|
|
|

|
Kids at the Octopus I won't confirm or deny rumors that I suggested feeding the octopi one of the kids, chosen by lottery based on grades. |
Feeding the Octopus For whatever reason, they were feeding him mozzerella cheese that day. |
Fed Octopus But she turned red after eating it, so she was content enough. |
Fed Octopus, II Only one kid's hair in the way! |
|

Rockfish I think that's what it was, anyway. The reflection didn't help. |
Flatfish After escaping the children and getting batteries, we checked out the natural-light fish. |
Bird Aquarium birds probably lead good lives. So much food! Too bad we don't know what they are. |
Another Bird Happy enough where he is, I guess. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Yet Another Bird Same species as the first one, but drinking something this time. Yes, this isn't a good description. |
More Anenomes The water wasn't that clear, though. |
Puffin Not the greatest shot, but the best I could get through the wet glass. |
Swimming Salmon Going upsteam in a water-tunnel. Whee. |

Overhead Fish This was a spectacular place for a picture. |
Overhead Fish, II There were thousands of fish, with the sunlight streaming in... |
Overhead Fish, III Even the close-ups show the numbers. |
Overhead Fish, IV I can see why the fishermen do well up here. Go salmon! |
|

|
Anenome and Fish I just like the two subjects here. |
Anenome Close-Up Another anenome, looking pretty awesome. |
Seal Close-Up I was shooting this through a chain-link fence, and it turned out pretty well for that. |
Seal, Not-So-Close Eventually the fence started coming into play, but at least you can see the seal. |
|
|

|
More Seal It looks better in the thumbnail views, really. |
Seal Through the Fence But I got his face this time! |
Seal Through the Fence, II Beth was freaked out by the now-hidden beady eyes. |
Resting Otter When we came back to these guys, they were floating on their backs cutely! |
|
|
|
|

|
Resting Otter, II What a wonderful picture-taking opportunity! |
Resting Otter, III I think he was grooming himself here. |
Resting Otter #2 There was more than one otter doing it, too. |
Two Resting Otters And they ran into each other like driftwood! |
|
|
|

|
Cute Otter I feel like I should caption this with something involving an invisible bucket. |
Cute Otter, II That'd probably just make me lame, though. |
Two Resting Otters, Close-Up See? They're holding hands! |
Still Resting Otter I think they probably lay like that for hours a day. It's a good life. |
|

Swimming Seal, I I like how cruel his mouth looks here. |
Swimming Seal, II I'm also glad that we got some pictures of him to turn out. |
Swimming Seal, III None of the other seals' pictures came out at all. Oh well. |
