On our way home from renewing our driver's licenses yesterday we made a quick stop at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The light was overcast, which was perfect for photographing the puffins. Alas, it turned rather sunny right after I took this shot, so we moved inside to check out the sea nettles. It was an intimate setting -- just us and about 1,500 schoolchildren -- my idea of hell. But not as hellacious as my new driver's license photo, which Chris says makes me look like an escapee from a mental institution. Heavy sigh. ©Carol Leigh
