Velella Velella Jellyfish...

...Just when I thought I had finished adding photos of Jellyfish ...another variety turns up!!

This one is called Velella Velella or also known as By-the-wind-Sailor......and are quite small, measuring about 1"


 






I think this is the prettiest of
all the jellyfish I have shown

These are really tiny compared to the others. A pretty blue too. I saw the pictures of the beach huts after the high tide.... that was a close thing!

Yes, it was a close thing. There were loads of people watching from a distance as the waves nearly got to the huts at the end of the line of beach huts. Fortunately they were okay, but I think they will need to build up the sand in front of them a bit more.

This is indeed the prettiest jellyfish I have sever seen !

ann @ studiohyde said...

........neither could I. Husband took the photos and caught them with the light going through them which I think brought out their colour.

We've had these before....they seem to float in on the breeze, hence I guess the nickname.

ann @ studiohyde said...

I know....who would have thought jellyfish could look so good :-)

ann @ studiohyde said...

You and me too. Some of the other jellyfish photos are nice, but this gets No. 1 slot.

They are totally stunning and worthy of a post on your blog
I bet they would shiver with delight if they knew how famous they had become.
