So have you ever had one of those weeks where work deadlines seem to not just trickle in, but pour in all at the same time? Yes, that was my past three weeks, actually, hence the lack of blog updating... very bad, I know. But now things are a bit calmer, so I am back to posting again! Ok, enough blah, blah, blah about work.... some cute pics to share today of our recent trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. Jasper loooooooved it.... although I am pretty sure he would have been happy as a clam (sorry, I had to go there) sitting in front of just one tank for the whole time.

Thought I would share some cool pics we took at the Vancouver Aquarium on our last visit... there are quite a few tanks there displaying jelly fish. They are so mesmerizing to watch, and such odd creatures... I could spend hours in front of these tanks... oooohhh, so mellow (yes, I am that easily amused). Not to shabby of photos for taking them through the thick reflective glass, huh?
We visited the Vancouver Aquarium recently to visit our old friend the tropical sloth (I don't think it has a name?). Took awhile to spot it, since it was hiding way up high among the tree blossoms. I tried to get the best photo I could... waited and waited, and then it occurred to me that.. oh yah, it's a sloth... it's going to take forever to move and turn to even face me. So short of poking it with a stick (which is not allowed of course), I would have had to wait a long long time in that tropical heat. So this is the resulting photo... a mysterious fur ball in some branches... I am not even sure which side is the head... I think the top?
Yesterday at Vancouver Aquarium, a new baby beluga was born! How cute! About 1.3 metres long, the new beluga is a girl. Now I have a definite excuse to head on down to the aquarium in the coming weeks... how can I resist a baby whale! Watch the video of the birth here.
Yesterday, Roger and I visited the Vancouver Aquarium for the afternoon. We love watching the beluga whales, dolphins and seals, along with the many tanks of fish. I was a little sad to find out that one of the otters that was there the last time we had visited had passed away in September. The otter (Nyac) was made famous since she was always holding hands with one of the other otters (Milo). If you haven't seen the YouTube video of it yet, watch it here... it is the cutest thing.
