Saturday Critters #635

A few days ago I talked about visiting our local aquarium,
We went on Thursday and had a great time.
Located on the Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk, in Point Pleasant, it is just a short drive from home.
It was a beautiful winter day, a "balmy" 36 degrees, with blue skies and sunshine.
It felt great to be out, camera in hand.
The aquarium has been renovated and updated since the last time we were there.
It was clean, colorful and well staffed with very knowledgeable people.
Most of the animals and fish here have been rescued and are not capable of returning to the wild.

I took way too many pictures but I could not help myself...scroll quickly and you may enjoy them more.


This is the scene as you first enter the aquarium.




This is a Map Turtle and it appears to be missing a limb.




The array of colors in the fish tanks were really amazing.






- moon jellyfish -




- stingrays -





- sharks -












- we had fun posing with this -


This is a look at the displays downstairs,
 I will be sharing more on Monday if you would like to avoid stopping by, but maybe you enjoyed this.

Sharing today's images with Eileen at

    What a fascinating place to visit. I had to scroll slow so I could see all the photos. Some of these are really amazing. Those colorful fish are beautiful. Love the pictures of you and your husband in the diving suit. Too fun. I look forward to seeing more.

    Debbie, what colorful images and regretfully I never visited when living in NJ. You managed to get a lot of amazing closeups and the manatee was my favorite here. Also fun shots if you and the hubs.

    So many interesting fish/creatures. Those stingrays sure are interesting looking. And that shark looked very fierce!

    I love an aquarium. I spend hours there marvelling at what lives beneath. Love the Rays and Sharks.
