Aquarium time

My digital camera was still fairly new to me during the Texas trip last June, so I was getting used to playing with the settings and my zoom lens. Man, I love that zoom lens…and you’ll see why in some of these Aquarium shots.

The Dallas Aquarium is pretty impressive. The first thing you enter is a large rain forest setting where birds are flying overhead and you’re walking through this completely alien environment (or as near a facsimile as we can create indoors). Here’s a toucan perched overhead.

I couldn’t quite get the misty effect that the waterfall and humidity create.

This guy reminds me of that Jim Henson rain forest special from ages ago.

I’ll finish up the Aquarium shots next time.
