Lovely. I especially like the 2nd and the 3rd photos.
Thanks so much, Liz!
Excellent abstract photo captures!
Thanks, Amy! I was wondering how I could use those photos.
What a creative way to share "afloat," Siobhan! Great shots, love the lighting in the water and I especially like the Seat otter balls :)
Thanks, Terri! Yeah, those sea otters were very entertaining. :D
Lovely marine abstracts
Thanks, Brian!
There is a magical quality about many of these images Siobhan :) I especially love the moon jellies!
Thanks, Sarah! I thought they were kinda magical too. š
Great choices. We spotted some jelly fish floating in the water on a recent trip. I used them in my post.
Thanks, Kristin! The first one on your post looks like a part-way cooked poached egg. ;)
