Juli is going to be busy this weekend, but I do have a friend and potential comas member wanting to go. If that's cool.

Thanks,
Kyle

Thanks sarah for finishing the organizing on this one. It should be fun.

I am currently en-route from Monterey and will finalize any details tomorrow (friday) when I get home.

The aquarium here is one of the best I have ever seen, truly amazing. Pity they no longer have the shark display..........(coming soon to a town near you).

Later,

P.

Well scratch me off the list i had something come up last minute so i can't make it. Please let us know how it goes and maybe some pic's.

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

Not many people showed up. But it was still fun. I had a blast. Hey captbunzo, post some pictures that you took. I was too busy looking around to take pictures. But I did snap these.

Bee Catcher

Hornbill

Galapagos Tortoise

My Sea Star!

 

[captbunzo]

Great tortoise and starfish pics, Travis! And I will post some pics tonight... I only took about 150.

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

I liked the picture of the tortoise too. The only way I even got that picture was because it walked right up to the railing on the fence. You could reach out and touch it. Other people touched it shell, but I refrained. I wouldn't want to give it a cold. It looks like it might have one.

Hey captbunzo, post some pictures that you took. I was too busy looking around to take pictures.

Ask and you shall recieve. I have posted 105 pics from our visit onto flickr. Please visit the entire photoset here:

I am REALLY happy with how some of the pics turned out. Here are a few samples...

(to be continued)

 

[captbunzo]

And please, check out more of the pics on flickr - there were a lot fo really neat things to see. I just didn't want to post EVERYTHING here...

And for my link of the day, in honor of all the beautiful lionfish we saw, check out this reefkeeping.com article on lionfish. I am especially excited about this as I am planning on a fu manchu lionfish in my 47g Dallas Reef... Or maybe a fuzzy dwarf lionfish if the fu manchi doesn't work out.
