Beluga


White whale (beluga, or sea canary) performing in tank. 


Was quite impressed with how smart this animal was. In fact, this was the only part of the park that I actually enjoyed. It seems sad and depressing to see so many grand creatures locked up in such small spaces.

Took some close-ups of the flowers at the park.


Overdid the reds during editing of this photo.


I have no idea what kinds of flowers these are.


Nice colors this time of year.


Love the violet colored flowers.
