A Night at the Georgia Aquarium

Ocean Voyager is one of the exhibits that we had the pleasure of seeing last night at The Georgia Aquarium.  This is my husband Dale poised next to one of the denizons of the deep.  Our group enjoyed the rare pleasure of having the aquarium all to ourselves for several hours.  We spent a most enjoyable two hours roaming the exhibits and then sat down for a dinner show of sorts, entertained by a trio of Beluga whales.  We were surprised to learn just how sociable they are, and seemed to be enjoying the "human show" immensely, particularly the younger members of the group whom they played with endlessly over the course of the evening.   

Upon entering the Ocean Voyager exhibit, a glass tunnel that took us through the deep water tank, I discovered Mr. Blue Fish lurking in a dark corner.  I engaged him in a brief conversation, and we bonded.  He followed us from window to window as we made our way through the exhibit.  I have yet to do my research on exactly what species he is, but it was wonderful to interact with and bond with such a charming fish (and he truly was)!

What a fun event!! My husband had the pleasure of visiting there on a business trip and he really enjoyed it. I love aquariums, so I hope to someday visit this one.

Beautiful photos...I especially love the one of you intently gazing into the tank, a tank filled with dream-like wonder and you touching it thru the glass. Sounds like a wonderful and fascinating evening. Thanks for sharing. xox
