Stanley Park

Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia reminds me a little of Golden Gate park in San Francisco with an added element of a beautiful Aquarium within. We took a day trip with our friends Scott and Debby-a long day and worth every minute!
It's still a little early for many of the flowers to bloom but the roses were spectactular!

The fushias were very petty, too.
And, in the center of the Park there's an aquarium...Well laid out with many indoor and outdoor exhibits...
The Beluga whales were such fun to watch! There's two moms and two pups. It's the first time the aquarium housed two babies at a time...And where's dad? He's confined to another holding pool so the moms can form a strong bond with their pups...
She's a natural actress....
And here's Sam the sea otter-Sam the Ham! He looks right at you and poses.....
These are moon jellies and if you all didn't know before-Next to sea horses, jellies are my favorite species in an aquarium..

Scott and Debby are taking in the rain forest..can you see the blue parrots holding feet?
This is a show not to be missed!!! I can't tell you details but this show is worth he price of admission alone!!!!
And then it was time to come home-Isn't this a nice welcome sign?
