Nico is one of three Beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium. He lives with two other female Belugas. Nico is a flirt and he loves to watch the people who visit the aquarium. On the afternoon I took this photo I was, surprisingly, the only person at the exhibit. Nico would swim back and forth across the front of the exhibit and right up to the second level where I stood. If I moved, he moved with me.<br /><br />I suppose this flirtatious nature explains the frisky activities between he and one of the female Belugas. The aquarium is hoping there might be a baby Beluga coming soon!Kerrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242236863633512005noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657476836073666909.post-2244650600178737222009-07-03T12:00:00.002-04:002009-07-03T15:10:50.606-04:00Moving Easel<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34269971@N07/3677170394/" title="ADP_Moving_Easel[2008] by Lawgirl_K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3537/3677170394_2e56afd76b.jpg" width="334" height="500" alt="ADP_Moving_Easel[2008]" /></a><br /><br />Part of the "Sculptures In Motion" exhibit from last season at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.Kerrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242236863633512005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657476836073666909.post-72403115221177488752009-07-02T12:00:00.001-04:002009-07-02T18:41:58.004-04:00Rapt With Attention<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34269971@N07/3676361873/" title="Rapt_With_Attention[20080 by Lawgirl_K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3570/3676361873_2004a556eb.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Rapt_With_Attention[20080" /></a><br /><br />This little boy is so engrossed in the Ocean Voyager tank at the Georgia Aquarium.
