To the Scripps Aquarium!
I wound up at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps today, and it was quite delightful.

Here I am at the info desk. I mean, you have to know what you're viewing!



The Aquarium has a splashingly good fountain out front. It appears to be quite the popular picture spot.


Wheee, a ride on a whale's tail!


Oh, getting artsy, are we?


I believe this is the kelp tank. Look at that shark! By golly, it could eat me in one bite!


Fascinating. Do fish taste like ants?


Oh jolly good, they have binoculars!


Quite the view point.


Alas, I saw no whales. Or tails. Or dolphins.


But while I was there, I took an existential moment to ponder the waves.


Here's a tide pool, with all sorts of crawly things. Hmm, how does one get through the net? There must be ants in there.


Last, but not least, a souvenir picture! Pip pip!
