A trip to the beach always brings surprises along the shore; this most recent visit was a treasure trove of finds. There have been thousands of mysterious sea creatures washing up on West Coast beaches lately called Velella; they resemble jellyfish a bit. I was able to get this wonderful macro with my iPhone 6Plus.

Thanks, Amy. Who knows with WordPress anymore. I’ve also been posting way less. My husband’s ill; I may post about that at some point, not sure yet if I want to do that or not.

Thanks, Madhu. I hadn’t either, and my daughter in law told me what she had recently read in the news about them.
