Vancouver Aquarium

I spent a day in Vancouver recently.  Had planned on going skiing with my daughter who lives there, but we ended up going to a Christmas concert instead.  Because my wife was away in Michigan visiting her parents, I spent the day in Vancouver while waiting for my daughter to finish work and walked across town to Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium.  These are some of the pictures.

I was especially fascinated with the Jellyfish which were in beautifully lighted displays that invited endless pictures.  The pictures shown here are only a very few of the many I took.  Besides the Jellyfish the displays of the sea creatures from the Pacific Northwest was fascinating.  Most of these are identified, but there are a few which I forgot to record.
