The day started wet and looked like it was set to stay, but it has brightened up and has been a lovely day again. I took a walk to the Sea Life centre this morning, I have an annual pass and like to go when it is school term time. It was really busy today with a lot of school trips visiting. On the way the sea was really tranquil again.
I meant to say that when I was walking on the beach yesterday the tide actually seemed to stop for about 15 minutes. No movement or waves at all, I have never witnessed that before. Back to today, I have taken pictures of this weird creature before, but that didn't stop me trying to get another good shot!
Apart from the otters, which is my main reason for the pass, I love seeing the jellyfish and also the sea horses. I took a lot of pictures of the jellyfish this one was a showy example.
So many different varieties.
Just one more, quite arty with the colour effect.
Then I arrived at the otter pen, always a delight.
Peek a boo!!
I have tried getting a decent picture of the dragon seahorses several times, this is probably the least blurred attempt to date!
Where is Nemo?
There was more heavy work going on at the edge of the beach near the sea wall. Different site this time, not sure if they are strengthening the walls.
The beach huts are maintained so beautifully, a pleasure walking along the front and seeing them.
Those new two storey ones look really swish! This afternoon I have been turning out cupboards so now I am among complete chaos, so best get back to it!

  1. The otters always look so friendly, but I wouldn't want to get too close to the end with teeth!
    I like the look of the dragon seahorse, I've never seen one before. Will add it to the list.

    1. I think you would enjoy Sea Life, the otters are cute, just two of them. Make sure your next visit is in term time!

  2. Love the beech huts, my sister at Bournmout often hires one for the day, like you she loves to be down by the water with their dog Bella. The Sealife is a wonderful place to visit often as there is always such good things to see, you can find different things each time. X
