Weekend Adventures by Susan L.

  I was down at my son's for the weekend. His birthday was on Friday so we went to the Toronto Ripley's Aquarium that sits at the base of the CN Tower. It's been at least fifteen years since I was downtown. It sure has changed!
  The aquarium houses an astonishing array of fish and other aquatic creatures despite it's small size. Once inside it feels much larger. Floor to ceiling tanks astound the senses.
  There's even one of those tunnels that lets you go beneath the shark tank. There was a large, silver fish that bore evidence of the unwanted attention of a shark reminding me that these are the great hunters in the ocean.
  What astounded me the most was the wide range of colours and patterns in the various fish, both freshwater and saltwater. Everything from intense pink and yellow to vibrant purple to indigo blues to metallic silver filled the tanks. Dots, stripes, blotches, unlimited combinations of the three dressed many fish in wonderful finery.
  They had several types of jellyfish in their own tanks whose delicate ballet was amazing to watch. They were one of my favorites.
  God's infinite creativity was fully on display.
  "So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded." Gen 1:21
