jellyfish






newport aquarium - has jellyfish art.  we ate one in class a few years ago when studying invertebrates.  they taste like soggy noodles.  a very simple animal, but beautifully displayed with classical music in the background.

  1. AACK! Those guys inspire nothing but fear around here. Intellectually I know how beautiful they are, but after seeing so many kids get stung in the summer (and having a sting or two myself), classical is NOT the music that comes to mind! I prefer them the way you found them...behind glass!

  2. Jellyfish are really beautiful. Yes, behind glass. Now that I have youngsters, I associate jellyfish with the movie, Nemo. Have you seen? It's a heartwarming movie/cartoon and Dori (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) almost meets death by a thousand jellyfish.

  3. These photos are so beautiful! I've tried taking shots at our jelly installation, but haven't had such success.

    Lauren and Inspiration - I wonder if we land locked Ohioans would take jellyfish fear if we could have the beach.... :)
