One of the parts we loved was the World Alive Exhibit with aquariums that displayed fifteen tanks of varying sizes featuring ecosystems from around the world such as a live Indo-Pacific coral reef, North Carolina coastal habitats, and a seafloor reef rubble habitat exhibiting sharks, stingrays and more.

Below are 2 photos I took of one of the tanks it was fun and challenging shooting it through the glass.

I used my trusty 35mm lens and pressed it right on the glass so I could lessen the reflections and have it feel as if I was really under the sea. I am pretty pleased on how well it turned out.

If you like snakes you may want to stop by my pet photography blog to check the post Snakes Alive I did back in December about the snakes we saw at the Discovery Place.

Until next time, don’t forget to take time out to enjoy your view.

spider-11-27-09

Found him and the web he was creating by the birdhouse my father-in-law made us. I could not resist but to take a photo then my husband told me to dispose of him because he is poisonous and we did not want Midnight to get a hold of him and get stung so I made the hubby do it.

Until Next Week Remember To Always Take Time To Enjoy Your View!
