The Beauty of Beluga Whales-The Georgia Aquarium

I can't believe that the Georgia Aquarium has been open for over ten years.

I have a harder time even accepting that it's been ten years since I've been there.

I remember reading about the whale sharks and the huge tank. So, at the time, I guess we were still newlyweds we traveled down to Atlanta and took in the aquarium. This was before our house, and before we were parents.

I have a ton of pics from my trip there. But I took some great ones of a beluga whale named Casper. Casper was rescued from a substandard zoo in another country. You can see the sores on her fins.

But she was so happy to be there that she smiled and interacted with the audience. I have heard that she has since passed away. But I was thankful to get these shots. These were shot on my first digital SLR. A Canon Rebel of some kind. I don't even have the camera anymore. Sold it on eBay at some point.

So I guess this post is a little about the beauty of ocean animals and the invisible speed of time.
