Last week I had to attend a work event that was held after hours at the Florida Aquarium. I was there mainly to play yearbook photographer. I snapped these two shots with a Sony digital camera. These are much more interesting than the shots I took of engineers eating and drinking. Uncle Chuckie was there, as full of himself as ever. The lameness of being at a work function was compensated by free wine, the chance to see the aquarium attractions without being surrounded by noisy kids, and overtime. Also I got to ignore the presentations of things I've heard before by gazing into the giant coral reef exhibit in the background. Coolness. The wetlands exhibit is especially interesting at night. They leave the lights off so the critters can get some semblance of a normal life; it's very neat.

This little girl also had to attend the event, but she made the best of it as well. Her eyes were a startling shade of blue - maybe I'll post a larger version so you can appreciate them a little better.
