The lack of funds for a 'real' vacation led me to a web search for interesting places to check out in my own backyard. Today's adventure took place at the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium which is in Nassau County just bordering on Suffolk County. Although small, there is plenty to see and photograph. There are outdoor pond areas as well as two buildings with indoor displays. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We covered the place in about 1.5 hours, but that accounts for photography time. Non-shutter bugs can probably see everything in about 45 minutes or so.
All of the above photos were taken with the Canon SX 40HS. The first three photos of the fish were taken inside one of the aquarium buildings and the fish were in glass tanks. The 'low light' setting under the 'Scene' mode was used for the fish photos.
