3 from the Shedd

These guys have really big brains. They must -- why else would they need such big foreheads?



This lizard was VERY interested in what was going on outside the tank; he kept swimming back and forth, looking at all of us looking at him.



Most of the little kids were excited when they spotted a Nemo fish, but I got excited when I saw Dory!



"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."

Lizards in Love

Or if not love, then in serious "like". :)

Taken at the Shedd Aquarium this weekend on a visit with my niece and sister-in-law. It was a ton of fun!

Big Camera on Campus

I spent the day yesterday at Museum Campus downtown, visiting the Shedd Aquarium, the Adler Planetarium, and the Field Museum. There were some major lighting and blurriness issues for most of my shots (no flash photography allowed, and the aquarium especially is pretty dark), but I was able to get a few I really liked. There is also a Globe exhibit all over the outside space, with about 50+ globes all decorated by different groups and/or artists staggered throughout the area. Very pretty!


Penguins lazing about on a sleepy Friday afternoon. Their viewing area was packed, but they didn't seem to notice or care.
