Day 004 0f 365 01-04-2023 Cue The Jaws Music

I often went swimming in a local wading pool when I was a young boy. Playing in the water with my best friend Brian,one of us would pretend to be a shark while the other played the victim. To be the shark we would submerge our body in the "deep" part of the wading pool and you could hear the distinctive sound of us being the shark with our mouths just above the waterline going... duunnn dunnn… duuuunnnn duun… duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn! and then I would attack Brian or he would attack me depending on who was playing the part of the shark. It was great fun. Funny to think that neither of us at that age had ever seen Jaws but it was surely etched into our brains.

Of course, Jaws is a great white shark and the one pictured above is a Blacktip Reef shark.

This photo was taken at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium located in Tacoma, Washington. I highly recommend visiting if you live in the area or are going to be visiting the area. It's a very clean, friendly, and walkable zoo with plenty to see.

Thank you for your support.
