Lon and Jared both have aquariums of their own. Needless to say, this visit was right up their alley. Jared has a wealth of knowledge regarding starting up and maintaining home aquariums. He gifted Lon with the one he presently enjoys.
Whether you have an avid interest or not, I can't imagine anyone not enjoying a visit to view the splendors of the underwater world.

| These orange and white swimmers are clown fish. The variety of live plants around them provide an awesome environment. |
 |
| Can you imagine walking on stilts day in and day out? |
 |
| Picking out this creature is a bit challenging. Do you see the mouth and the big ball eyes above it? This fellow creeped me out! |
 |
| Mysterious-looking is my adjective for this. |
 |
| Too many appendages to keep track of, don't you think? |
 |
| What big and woeful eyes you have! |
 |
| Around and around and around they go... |
 |
| ...dragging their tails behind them. |
 |
| These come wrapped in aluminum foil, ready for baking. I didn't mention that to them though. |
 |
| Part of a hammerhead shark. |
 |
| A pack of serious-looking Jack fish. |
 |
| They meant business and had places to go and important things to do. |
 |
| It's crazy to be so close to these monsters and yet so safe. |
 |
| This closeup photo is taken of part of a preserved squid. |
 |
| Here's another preserved squid. |
 |
| This pair of Lion fish are dressed for some grand gala event. I felt like a slob next to them in my blue jeans. |
 |
| If you were as big as this manatee, you'd eat an entire head of lettuce in one gulp too! |
That's all folks! These are my favorite photos taken at the Mote Aquarium. I hope you enjoyed them.

SARIE: I love going with Jared. He's so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that it's much more interesting than without him.
I hope Jared, Lon and I get down to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago sometime soon.

Nature continues to amaze me!
