Tube O'Sea Creatures Jellyfish in a tube that you can walk under. Neat. |
Beth and Jellyfish The flash was bad, but Beth looked good and contemplative. |
Tim the Jellyfish Why do the "face-in-the-animal" photo opportinuties never get old? |
Tim Plays For that matter, petting zoos don't go out of style either. Lucky aquariums. |

Tub O'Sea Creatures There were a few places where you could touch sea cucumbers, starfish, and the like. This was the closest thing to a shot that turned out. |
Puffins I didn't get too many shots of birds. This is one of the few. |
Under the Fish I forget what the purpose was, but hundreds or thousands of fish swim above you in this part. |
Under the Fish, II It makes for a great photo, anyway. |

Beth and More Fish Beth loves fish, so this was really as cool for her as the zoo was for me. |
Anenome Wow, this picture turned out well. |
Fish, Anenome, and Urchins An interesting (well, normal, but pretty!) mix of animals. |
Longing Beth I'm sure I looked like this when we saw the sea otters... |

Big Fish Tank This is where they keep the sharks and such. |
Shark I should have taken down the variety. |
Shark, II (I keep wanting to say "cultivar". Species! Species!) |
More Sharks My flash hurts, though. |
|
|

Giant Goldfish Or something like that. |
Watching the Seals You can tell by how many people are watching these guys... |
Seals ...just how cool they are! |
More Seals They were just playing and playing... |
|
|
|
|

|
Seals, Seals, Seals Effortlessly, gracefully...it's great. |
Seals, Above-Water And they were still neat above water...but there was something greater to come. |
Sea Otters Sea otters! Oh, they were fun to watch! |
Sleeping Sea Otter Sleeping in the water. How cool is that? |
|
|
|

|
Playing Sea Otters But they play when people are around, it seems. |
Playing Sea Otters, II (At least I hope they're just playing.) |
Sea Otter and Ball That's one toy... |
Sea Otter and Toy Definitely the best picture of the bunch. |
|
|
|
|

|
Sea Otter and Toy, II This time there's two of them...but it still not as good as that last shot. |
Seals But eventually I had to forsake the joy of the otters and go back to the seals. |
More Seals They were having fun too, but they weren't so photogenic about it. |
Beth and the Seals Given that she didn't have the camera, Beth spent more of her time watching them than the otters. |

River Otters Sleeping, so not as cute as the Sea Otters, but cool nonetheless. |
Octopus Next up in really cool shots: an eight-legger! |
Octopus, II He really was giving us a great view here. |
Octopus, III And by here I was unobscructed by children... |
|
|
|

|
Octopus Suckers A good scale shot... |
Octopus Suckers And you lose the scale here, but it still looks good. |
Octopus Suckers The absolute bottom of the creater. So neat! |
Other Octopus A top view this time. Handy. |
|
|
|

|
Other Octopus, II I think it's a different color too. |
Baby Octopus Aww! (Well, it's probably full-grown but smaller.) |
Tropical Fish Beth wanted shots of these guys. |
Tropical Fish, II As I said, she really likes fish...the owning kind, not the eating kind. |
|
|

|
Lion Fish These are the kinds of things she wants in an aquarium some day. |
Lion Fish and Other They do look cool together. |
Nemo Tank According to Danny, essentially every Aquarium does this now. |
Nemo and Marlin Best to capitalize on this stuff while you can, I guess. |
|
|

Dory Danny seemed offended. Beth was amused. Beth won. |
