Shedd Aquarium, Chicago

Chicago is sure a chilly place in winter.

---

We thought we'd take a visit to the Shedd Aquarium...along with everyone else!

---

There's lots of pretty fish. To shoot them without reflections you have to put your lens up against the glass.

---

Here's a nice blue one.

---

I liked the reptiles. A red-eyed iguana stares me down. Click on this picture and check out its skin. Very freaky.

---

This penguin didn't move much. I feel the same way on the weekends.

---

There were too many people there so this is what it looked like most of the time.

---

We went to watch the dolphins leap around. They'll do anything for fish (remember the musical opening to the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe"?).

---

This man loves his fish.

---

So long Shedd. (I know it's a bit boring but that's what the day was like.)
