Georgia on my Mind

Here's the song and here's a very few pics.

Georgia Aquarium is fantastic

and look at this chap! I've asked for one for xmas! Fuzzy pic because the perspex/glass is scratched - don't know if that is people from the outside or fluffies from the inside

and a couple of the choreagraphed fountains in Centennial Olympic Park

Is that fluffie a sea otter DM? He/she is very cute! Did you get any photos of the birds you asked about? Amazing fish too! They look HUGE.

Those fountains must be a real blessing on a hot day!

He's a sea otter. They had 4, I think. This one was just doing the sea otter thing, floating on his back, doing his manicure and playing with those yellow kiddies nesting cups, rather than cracking an oyster.
They also had a group of much smaller SE Asian otters who were charming - playing together like kittens or perhaps ferrets, except the play also included water.
No bird pics, I'm afraid.
The fish were gi-normous and the very biggest are in fact whale-sharks.
I'll use this thread to ask DM(US) about a most beautiful tree with mauve flowers, the colour of wisteria, but not trailing - upright flowers like chestnut 'candles'. Any ideas? I asked our host but he wasn't much of an outdoorsy person and couldn't even confirm those birds as mockingbirds.

That's the paulonia. They are gorgeous, This isn't a great pic, best I could find the blooms look too blue in it; it is really the color of wisteria.

Fab pics! Love the sea otter! Cuteness itself, so human in their expressions and dexterity.
That tree also grows in Spain as my friend had one opposite her flat out there in Denia. Looks a lot like a jacaranda (?sp) tree too.
