Vancouver Islands Jewel ~ Tofino's Long Beach ~ Part 2

Here are some interesting pictures that I took that show life just under the water....these wonderful pink tipped invertebrates look just like a flower garden but under water.

This picture below is a capture of the wind blowing the sand across the beach...it was a very windy day. My hair came right out of my pony tail!!!!!

Sidney's New Discovery Center ~ A Series of Under Water Ocean Images~ Part 2 Invertebrates and Fish

Happy Sunday everyone. Today here in Victoria we are having a fabulous day. Nice and sunny you can't get any better than that! I managed to get out for a walk today and got some great pictures...lots of editing on the horizon for me. My favorite part. Ahhhh I'm getting off track as usual...so this is the next half of Sidney's Discovery Center. Lots of Invertebrates in these snaps, sorry everyone the fish except for the one I posted today were all too fast moving and I couldn't capture a clear crisp shot of them, which is too bad because there was one female fish and she was giving birth at the time to a baby! Little did I know that some fish give live birth just like we do.... I was truly amazed.

This image below is a Sea Cucumber...very cool. It was cleaning the glass and I was amazed at what the inside of it's mouth looked like. Click onto the image to get a larger image....it's mouth is truly awsome inside.

Sidney's New Discovery Center ~ A Series of Under Water Ocean Images~ Part 1 Invertebrates

Hello everyone and sorry for the delayed post, but I had a project in mind. Sidney has just recently opened a New Discovery Center and this exciting new exhibit features the species that live in our ocean that surrounds our Island! So I thought I would take the opportunity and check it out and was I impressed....There were examples of all kinds of life and I had no idea just how beautiful it is under the water. I'm now thinking I should take a Scuba Diving Course next summer...I would love to see these wonderful creatures up close it would be a very wonderful experience to be able to swim with and explore the ocean. To be able to witness it's abundance of life. Today's post is all the invertebrates....look at the variety you have with this one type of animal in the sea. From Jelly Fish to Sea anemones!! Simply delicate and beautiful...Wow
