Happenings At the Shedd

Lots of Underwater Activity


Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium is a tranquil place where you can enjoy the underwater scenery.

We spent a few hours feeling the solitude that some of the creatures of the sea offer their guests with their eye-catching beauty and graceful movements. Some are tiny and some are gigantic but they all seem to move with such ease.

Below are a few of our visual experiences.

Going Underwater

at the Shedd Aquarium

As I was reviewing my collection of photos, I realized that I had overlooked a bunch of pictures from a couple of months ago.

At the time, we were enjoying the very pleasant weather in Chicago when my granddaughter asked to visit the famous Shedd Aquarium.

Here are Kris and our granddaughter Eden in front of one of the huge displays at the museum.

Step outside of the museum onto the patio and you’ll have a great view of Chicago’s downtown skyline.

Rather than letting the pictures go unnoticed I created a short gallery. There isn’t any detail except for an identifying name.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy viewing some of the amazing creatures in and around our planet’s waters..


If you want to see some of the creatures that inhabit Earth’s fresh and ocean waters you’ll find a very large collection at the Shedd Aquarium. We certainly enjoyed seeing them last fall.
