The aquarium and La Jolla

 

Quite a few seahorses live in several tanks. Who doesn't love seahorses?

Beautiful sea dragons, an amazing relative of the seahorse.

Little Blue Penguins occupy a beautiful outdoor enclosure at the aquarium, with lots of space to swim.
They recently hatched 5 chicks that have joined the rest of the penguins there.

We had a great California Mexican lunch in downtown LaJolla.

We walked along the seaside near La Jolla cove, watching birds and sea


At almost high tide, just as the sun was about to set, the sea lions were swimming in the surf.

It’s good to know that the Little Penguins are doing well. Would that the same were true in their natural areas.
