single flower...

Awhile ago Matt & I went to Discovery Park & I took all kinds of flower photos, so here is one that I thought was unique & I liked.

One lone elephant

This elephant posed so nicely for me, unlike his counterpart who was off playing with a beer keg & not cooperating at all. This & the past few photos are from Point Deception Zoo & Aqarium down in the Tacoma area. We decided we like Woodland Park Zoo better & Woodland Park is a whole lot closer.

sleepy cat

This tiger was sleeping, but for a brief second he lifted his head just slightly, almost as if he wanted to see if he had an audience, and then promptly went back to sleep.

fishy stars

There were some pretty cool star fish, but this one I was able to get all the detail of its underside being up against the window, which I thought was pretty cool.

spiny, hairy thing

I have no idea what to call these things, they were really cool and swayed all over. The light was hitting them in such a way at times they looked almost clear.

An Enemy...

...or how about anemone? This guy doesn't look too scary, so I don't think he is an enemy, at least not to me who is much bigger than he.

Coral the color of the animal?

A few weeks ago we were at a friend's house who runs an aquarium care business, both Matt & I sat and looked at her "show" tank forever because it was so cool to see all the corol types, shrimp, crabs, snails, etc. So when I saw this tank I thought of Melissa and tried to see if I could capture how vastly different the coral types are.

Big Red

This little guy was had such bright colors in contrast to everything else in the tank, it made me wonder how he would stay alive if not in a protected tank.

Horsey

Matt keeps asking for a pony, so I told him that while we were at the aquarium we would have to see the ones that live in the sea. They actually had quite a few different ones, this was one of the more traditional ones.

There was one that looked like a plant, maybe later I will post that one. He definitely could blend into his environment.

Tropical Fish

I loved the way this yellow fish looked. He looks like he is ready to eat pebbles, which made me think of some of our friends who have fish who pick up the pebbles then drop them to make a kerplunk noise.
