Hello There Jellyfish
I have a passion for jellyfish. There are few creations in nature that inspire me to such wonder as this amazing combonation of beauty and deadliness. Soft, supple, lovely, self sustaining and silently, methodically viscious when the occasion calls for it. Independent, but at home in a family. My favorites are the ones that are lit from within, tempting and warning, on fire with the majesty of their innate sovereignty. I think I’ll be a jellyfish today.
Chris took these shots this week when we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, one of our family’s favorite places. It always takes my breath away.
these are seriously gorgeous photos Leah!! glad you had a good time.

I spent hours taking pictures of jellyfish at Vancouver aquarium last year. Glad to see I am not the only Jellyfish addict in the world
they are so hypnotic aren’t they?

Having spent quite a few years in Monterey as a child and then in the Air Force, I have had the opportunity to visit the aquarium many times. I have to say that it is one of my favorite places in the world. I can’t wait to take my son one day.
