Cool Jellies

Last weekend we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I love it there. One of my favorite parts is the Jellies. They are just gorgeous and Monterey Bay has done such a wonderful job of displaying them. They are backlit and in the "Jellies as Art" display, the tanks are framed so they look like paintings. I could stare at them for hours. I just found out that the display will go away on September 15th to make way for a seahorse exhibit. While I look forward to the new exhibit I will really miss the jellies. I'm so glad I got to see them once last time.

Boat on the Water

Why is it that boats and water are such a beautiful combination? We were recently in Oregon and I stopped by the Marina in the morning before the boats had gone out. The sun was just right casting reflections and I must have snapped 50 photos. It was so peaceful and gorgeous.

Budding Beauty

There is an incredible flower garden in my neighbor's yard and I go there often to take photos. Usually I photograph all of the beautiful flowers but this last time I became focused on all of the flower buds. I never really noticed them before but they are now grabbing my attention. How can it be that an incredible flower is packed inside this tight little bud just waiting to spring free. It doesn't seem possible.
