The whale skeleton makes my heart hurt - but I love the others.

What a wonderful place to visit. Where I used to live we had a great aquarium.....my late husband loved going there.
Have a great week.

Your photos are fabulous, but that first photo of the whale skeleton was a bit scary. I DID love everything else, though.

Barbara said...

I love the pictures, and the quote is oh so true.

Lee said...

Ahh...Kahlil Gibran...when my ex and I married we used a quote from "The Prophet" for our ceremony.

RO said...

Not sure about the whale skeleton, but great photography skills Sandra. Those closeups are so cool. It's almost the same as being there. Happy Monday! Hugs...

LOL - that diver looks a bit surprised.

Pat Hatt said...

Diver looks like he's reaching out for help lol great shots indeed

CJ Kennedy said...

Great photos. Love the ones of the diver. Have a good day!

Sandra Cox said...

Good for you. I bet it made the ceremony even more special. I enjoy individuality in ceremonies.
Have a great one, Lee.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Jamie:) Glad you enjoyed them.
Have a great day.

Sandra Cox said...

Hugs. I trust he lived to a ripe old age and died of natural causes. The aquarium is big into rescue.
But seeing him live and in the ocean would definitely have been much better.

You have a great week too.

Sandra Cox said...

This looks like you had a great time. We have Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto which I still need to visit. Love the guy in the tank....I can't help but think of Spock from the 4th movie

Thanks, Ro.

Hugs back,

Probably because I was waving madly at him:)
He did wave back. Grin.

Sandra Cox said...

I love your aquarium photos! I find aquariums so very relaxing, almost mesmerizing. (Like your earlier jellyfish -- just floating along!). I think I'd love it here!
