SeaWorld on Christmas Day, Part 1





I took this photo during SeaWorld's signature show:  One Ocean, featuring Shamu. 
I held my camera ready during the entire show so I could capture moments like this.

 
Aw.....
I love watching them come up out of the water like this.
Another "ah" moment.
Beached killer whales...oh my...
Bottoms up!
A genteel wave from a killer whale.
How do they train these huge animals??
Walking through this tunnel surrounded by water and sea life is quite an experience.
 
Scary even viewed through the glass wall.


Wouldn't it be fun to ride on the back of one of these turtles?
I like to come in close with my camera.  I'd be lost without the ability to zoom in.


I'll be back tomorrow with more photos of our Christmas Day at SeaWorld.
