Now there are jellyfish and there are jellyfish....

We don't usually get more than a few at this time of year.....but for some reason we seem to have had a lot on our doorstep...





and they vary in size and colour too...









hang on a minute...this isn't a jellyfish....

 nor is this....

 believe me, the jellyfish were way off into the distance...

at the end of the Summer we usually get the windblown variety,
 we look forward to their arrival too....

Not living near a body of water have never seen s jellyfish up close. You certainly got some wonderful photos. Didn't know there were so many different types. Thank you for sharing.

They look gorgeous, like precious stones!

I'm surprised at how many different kinds there are too!

ann @ studiohyde said...

Yes, they do look like that, especially when the sun shines on them.

they sting don't they

I know some do give a nasty sting Christine, but not sure about the selection here. The surfers, wear wet-suits anyway, but I don't think anyone has had a problem.

nice pics!! I wouldn't want to step on one but they are so pretty.

ann @ studiohyde said...

I think they were safe enough, but like you, I wouldn't want to try and find out, lol :-)

Christine said...

good to know, especially for walking around.

You do get a lot, much more than we get here. We only see an occasional jellyfish!

ann @ studiohyde said...

For some reason they seem to have decided to holiday here, lol :-)
