The Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans was fascinating but sad at the same time. The different display of fish and other life was fascinating. As far as I could tell there were fish who lived in the ocean and also in the Gulf. There were an amazing variety of life in these aquariums. But in one display there was, at least, one seal and I felt bad for the seal. It was enclosed and could not roam as a wild seal. It did not seem very happy and all kinds of people were gawking at it. There might have been a second seal in that cage but I no longer remember if there was. The aquarium was not that big for it. The seal ought to be free and wild. It just made me sad.

The “kiddies” were all taking pictures of the different fish in the aquarium with their I Phones and I Pads. Everyone had them. I read, presently, more photos are being taken with those devices than regular cameras. These kids grew up with that technology so it really should not be that surprising to see that. I am a dinosaur: I am still using a film camera. I am about to buy my first digital camera. Prices have come down considerably. I am slow to take up new technology except it is not new anymore. I am just old.
