It has been a while since I posted anything for Macro Monday, but I have some fun close-ups of deep sea creatures. A couple of weeks ago I was in Virginia to spend some time with my son before he shipped out for five months. One of the places we toured was the Virginia Aquarium. I love aquariums --- I don't like being on or in the ocean, but the undersea creatures fascinate me.
Some of these animals are very funny looking, like this guy. He must be very narrow-minded!
Then there are those that love to be pampered. It looks like Scott is scratching a serious itch on this sea turtle.
"Aaaaahh! Thanks, man!"
There are the incredibly gorgeous --- albeit venomous --- lion fish. 
I never noticed the beautiful aqua colors on their fins.
From the exotically beautiful to the powerfully dangerous.... 
.... and the silliness!
The manta ray pool is always full of graceful, playful creatures. Some seemed to be trying to climb out!
This manta was actually as iridescent as the photo shows. So pretty!
Scott seems to make friends everywhere he goes! He was having quite a conversation with this old guy.... glub glub glub.
