There's a new-ish exhibit on jellyfish at the Aquarium... there's a strong eco message there ("as we screw the oceans and fish die, jellyfish take over") but it's a bit undercut by how prettily the damn things are presented, Ksenia took this one.

Probably my favorite whale photo of the day. A whale breached once, but I mostly just saw the splash.
The weather was doing some interesting stuff on the ride back.
