More jelly

@skinnylatte Took some young people to the Vancouver Aquarium last summer, and this two year old was utterly entranced by the jellies.

@Plumbert love how magical it is for so many people

Can’t believe I get to see penguins while I’m at work

@skinnylatte That is the most beautiful aquarium I visited so far. I am sure you will enjoy your new work so much! I have so good memories from Monterrey, when attending the International Semantic Web Conference there in 2018 (http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/). We visited the Sequoya parks and some other beautiful places with my wife, and met very nice people around. Your pictures made my day!

@daniel i'm glad you have such great memories here!

[apbblue@thepit.social]

@skinnylatte It's so heartening to see someone having a whale of a time at their job

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

View from an office window (and I work in one of the ‘boring’ office buildings, not at the main aquarium). They all have pretty good views I think

[zackstern@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte byo squids.

[zackstern@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte this one has a handle, you can take animals from the main tanks on loan for the day.

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@zackstern heh

@skinnylatte Is that Hopkins?

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@CWilbur Hopkins is to the left... a bit? out of frame. That's the American Cannery building that will soon be hotel

[cwilbur@sfba.social]

@skinnylatte Wow how things change! Anyway, you're not far from Butterfly Beach, which is named for, not Monarchs, but the "butterfly" shells that washed up on the beach (Blue Chiton segments) that look like little blue butterflies.

[cwilbur@sfba.social]

@skinnylatte Here’s a shot my great great uncle Ray took of Butterfly Beach (left) and Point Cabrillo (right) back in the late 19-aughts. He went on to become President of Stanford and was pretty instrumental in the development of the marine research station.
