The beautiful, gigantic whale shark swims in the background, just in time to pass by Mrs. Julie and the boys in her 5th grade class at the Georgia Aquarium’s overnight program. The aquarium has asked me to post this photo on their Facebook page, they love it! Yay!

Thank you! Our tour guide mentioned that this whale doesn’t normally pass so close in the morning (this was before the aquarium opened to regular guests). We were so lucky to be at the right place at the right time. 😀

I saw it was the Georgia Aquarium. Makes me want to pay a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, about an hour south of where I live.

What a smashing photograph, Schelley, and one those children will cherish – I assume they have each begged for a copy?
I would!

Thank you so much! I’m the class photographer so all of the kids/parents have a copy. This is one of my all-time favorite photographs because it conveys such excitement! (Not to mention the great background of that whale shark.) 🙂

It’s one of those once in a lifetime shots. I hope you blew it up and framed it? Anyone would be proud to put that on their wall.
I am busy perusing your site.It is well presented and the pics are all pretty good! I don’t comment on every post, forgive me. I look out for shots that are truly unusual and original. This one is something special.
