sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

This picture took a few tries to get. I came back to this spot a few times so I could take a picture without any visitors in the background. I’m pretty happy with the result!

at the bay…sea anemone?

    I love the windows-to-the-sea effect of the first photo.

      Thank you Liz! It’s peaceful to sit on one of the benches and admire the kelp forest with the pretty sea creatures. This is a heavy foot traffic area but I was determined to take a full frontal picture of just the tank. lol.
      Hope you have a great start to the weekend. 🙂

        You’re welcome! I have a number of photos of exhibits taken at awkward angles to avoid including other people. 😉

      Thank you Cindy! Hope you have a great weekend. We’re having an unusual cold spell and rainy, in some places snowy, weather. Stay well and warm!

    Very cool picture and place as well. I wonder why we didn’t visit it when I was on the California coast tour back in October 1980 – perhaps it was not built yet. I remember Monterey Bay was beautiful.

      The aquarium opened in 1984!
      Monterey Bay is beautiful and it’s got that old town feel to it. I’d love to go back and check out some historic sites. We got the yearly membership so we’ll be returning soon. We’re big aquarium and fans…even before kids.

        Oh, that is why then. I would have liked to visit. That’s great you liked aquariums, even before the kids. What I remember about Monterey was how beautiful it was.

        I think that’s why the kiddos like it so much too. Kind of rubs off on them. 🙂
        Maybe you could do another California coast tour like that when you retire?

        I did enjoy that trip, but it would have to be if Covid goes away … I’d be a Nervous Nellie otherwise. I only had three travel places on my bucket list: France, Italy and Alaska. And I would love to see the New England foliage. That’s it.
