Before National Aquarium closes their famed "Wings in the Water" exhibit, they invited a few members of the local media down to snorkel & swim with the animals.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have been selected as one of them!
No matter how many times you've seen the array of sea life from just above, there is nothing quite like plunging in and seeing them just a few inches away (and sometimes, not even that far)!
I was fortunate to be able to take my new "GoPro2" camera down in the water with me, providing a rare look at these magnificent creatures up close. *SEE THE VIDEO / CLICK THIS LINK
Both the video and several great photos are attached to this blog. Enjoy! (and let me know what you think or if you have any questions at weverhart@wmar.com )

All-time record high temperatures were set at several location in south central Alaska Monday afternoon.
A potent area of low pressure will move along this rim and drop down the front side bringing a round of severe weather to Maryland Wednesday evening/night through Thursday afternoon (timing is still in question).
As the moisture from this tropical low moves north it will interact with a trough out to the west. This will increase Maryland's rain chances late Thursday into early Saturday morning.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service and researchers from the University of Oklahoma continue to investigate the May 31st El Reno tornado that hit just west of Oklahoma City.
No big shocker here. Oklahoma shares the top of the list of states with the most tornadoes rated either F5 or EF5 since 1950.
