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.
