In San Fransisco, they just built a new aquarium in the Acadamy of Sciences Museum. They have a King Tut tour and also a Rain Forest exhibit. We didn't have time to go to those after we were done with the aquarium so we'll go next time. We live about an hour and a half from there. Here are some Sea Creatures from the aquarium. It was very difficult to shoot through glass...I took over 200 shots but only a few turned out decent...I used "auto focus"...I wasn't thinking...I should have used "manual focus"...darn it..

 

Pink Jelly Fish

 

Cuddle Fish..

 

My favorite photo..but I don't know what kind of fish this is..

 

Some kind of blue eel

 

Jelly Fish

 

Parrot Fish

 

Leafy Sea Dragon...the plant looking thing is the animal

 

Some kind of eel

 

Fishy Fish..

 

Another Fishy Fish...

 

That same Parrot Fish..

 

Penguin

 

I must have shot 50 shots of the penguins...I would have spent more time but there were sooo many people there...The glass was water stained from them splashing it...this is where the "manual focus" would have REALLY been helpful!!! Oh well, live and learn.
