Sebastian and the Fishes

 When young Sebastian was visiting me recently, we  made a visit to the aquarium in Ucluelet. This facility is a wonderful place to visit. The good thing is that, at the end of the summer, the creatures are all released back into the wild. But through the summer, kids and adults get to enjoy them close up.

Children are allowed to gently cup some of the creatures in their hands, then put them gently back.

I was fascinated with the jellyfish, so mysterious and beautiful. I have seen them in a small bay, years ago, an incredible sight to  see the entire surface of the bay a-swim with jellies.
