I didn’t have anywhere to be until 6:00 pm, and I didn’t want to spend my afternoon in my less-than-comfortable room at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. I hadn’t planned on touring the aquarium, but it was right there …
Amanda was one of the aquarium guides. She was standing next to a pair of Hyacinth Macaws, talking with them and about them to several kids. When the kids cleared out, I asked Amanda if I could get a photo of the chair with the parrots. She held it up and talked to them, but they were a bit unsure of it and eased away slowly.
I spent several minutes in the butterfly room trying to get one to land on the chair. I finally found this guy plastered against a window and eased him onto the seat while a security guard watched and smiled.
When I first put the chair down in front of the penguin pool, one swam down immediately to take a look.
There were other people in the aquarium, but not many. I rarely had to wait for anybody to get out of the way to take a photo. There were several rooms filled with jellyfish tanks.
Near the exit, there was a display of Tennessee folk art. I couldn’t help noticing the little red chair …
