An aquatic Kenting weekend

  
So I went to Kenting (at the southern tip of Taiwan)!  Visited this guy!  He's a Fulbright researcher (rather than English teacher).  He did this.  Painted abstractions of Kenting's coral reef that incorporate ideas from traditional Chinese medicine.  AND it's on display at Kenting's aquarium.  SO COOL.   
I wandered around the aquarium and took too many pictures of the jelly fish, as per usual. 

There was a giant squid sculpture outside. It was metallic and beautiful. I took a picture with it.  I also went snorkeling and met up with some other lovely researchers.  An aquatic and fun weekend!

Your photography skills are quite refined.

Such vivid and vibrant colors in your photos. The seaworld is truly amazing, isn't it.

Jessie,

The giant metallic bug seems so futuristic. Hopefully, you have not encountered any as awesome as that!

Love,

Auntie Rose, not quite! I wish my imagination was that spectacular.

That is hugh. Can it be real? Is that some kind of paste up job?

Dad, that is absolutely real and would look real good in our front yard
