Sea Horses & Sea Dragons
images from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey, CA, February 2010
After the morning spent at Point Lobos, I met a friend at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and took in the marvelous show currently on display, The Secret Lives of Seahorses. The last time I was at the Aquarium, I had seen the amazing jellyfish program, and this experience was just as well-done, just as beautiful. I made a few photos of the seahorse show, but also of the Aquarium in general. And it was interesting to encounter a quote from Robinson Jeffers in the tidal pool room, in the day after having been at the annual Robinson Jeffers conference.

The Jeffers' quote is wonderful here against the backdrop of sea life. Thanks, Art.
Yeah, it was particularly cool given the occasion and the timing.
wonderful photos, sea horses and sea dragons are just amazing
It's always amazing to me how often nature produces creatures and images and places that are beyond anything we might have imagined as possible. That's why we can still look up at the stars at night, or into the ocean depths, as Arthur C. Clarke reminded us, and feel a sense of wonder: there's still so much to be discovered, still so many mysteries to explore.
