Recently I had the opportunity to take to the water and practice my aquatic photography...
I adore Manatees, such prehistoric, gentle and lugubrious creatures, I just want to give them a big hug!
Why are Sea Lions called Sea Lions? Just look at that face and those whiskers, they are Sea Dogs.
Below they remind me of a group of gentlemen waiting to be served at the bar.
Who doesn't love a Dolphin, they are the living embodiment of 'smile and the world smiles with you'
Steven Spielberg has a lot to answer to, he didn't really do much for Shark PR did he! I for one am petrified of them, I really don't like them at all, I mean just look at their beady eye's, ugh!
Penguins, comical and adorable...
And incredibly fast and graceful under the water, blink and you've missed them.
Jelly fish, annoying and occasionally deadly but beautiful and ethereal in the water.
It's a well known fact that fashion and textile designers often take inspiration from the natural

"Because your worth it"!
I am sure you have all guessed that I did not so much as dip my toe in the water, all these photographs were taken at the Aquarium in Genoa's old Port, we got access all area complimentary tickets as part of our hotel deal and I must admit it was a very pleasurable way to spend a couple of hours, especially as it was raining outside!
"No please do not pull me out of the water by my tail"!
Don't think David Attenborough has anything to worry about just yet!
Wishing you all a Wonderful Weekend
