Florida Vacation 2007, Day 7: Sea World Encore
11/9/2007 9:09:00 PM

Today, we made an encore trip to SeaWorld.  I had better luck getting high quality photos, as I already knew the course that the shows would follow.  Also, we finally had the chance to get good pictures of the polar bears.  They're not always in a visible area, so we were lucky this time.

Additionally, we got better pictures at a number of different places.  Here are a few of the Orcas:

The Orca show was different this time.  I managed to catch a double-jump with the camera:

Also, the Orca show included a mother and baby Orca... The baby was just learning, but it made for a great photo:

Also, I finally managed to get a good picture of a "Leafy Sea Dragon".  It's far-and-away the strangest fish that I've ever seen.  It's in the seahorse family, and it remarkably resembles a plant.  Take a look:

Another new trick... I figured out how to shoot photos through the glass of the underwater viewing windows:

Dinner was at Ming Court.  We heard that the food was good, so we decided to give it a try. Jessawick liked it.  I was pretty indifferent.  It wasn't bad; it just didn't stand out as especially good.  After dinner, we stopped in at the local grocery store.  We wanted to get some "real" food, and try to get back to eating a more normal diet.

Tomorrow is the hydroponics convention.
